Getting Started

A new notation and a new tool take a little orientation. The notes below answer the questions people usually start with.

Why use xtUML?

• Introduction to xtUML (PDF)
• MDD for systems engineering (video)
• UML, xtUML, and the xtUML process (video)

How do I build a model in BridgePoint?

• Install BridgePoint
• How to build a simple component diagram (video)
• Object Action Language reference (PDF, also in the BridgePoint help)
• Action language tutorial
• Online notes and exercises

Training material

One Fact publishes the training material as open source. The courses live in the xtuml/training repository: requirements clarification, and basic xtUML modeling.

Questions about a model belong on the forum archive and, for new conversation, in the GitHub discussions and issues of the tool repositories.
