The software development procedure begins with identifying the requirement analysis. The process levels of the requirements start from analysing the requirements to sketch the design of the program, which is very critical work for programmers and software engineers. Moreover, many errors will happen during the requirement analysis cycle transferring to other stages, which leads to the high cost of the process more than the initial specified process. The reason behind this is because of the specifications of software requirements created in the natural language. To minimize these errors, we can transfer the software requirements to the computerized form by the UML diagram. To overcome this, a device has been designed, which plans can provide semi-automatized aid for designers to provide UML class version from software program specifications using natural Language Processing techniques. The proposed technique outlines the class diagram in a well-known configuration and additionally facts out the relationship between instructions. In this research, we propose to enhance the procedure of producing the UML diagrams by utilizing the Natural Language, which will help the software development to analyze the software requirements with fewer errors and efficient way. The proposed approach will use the parser analyze and Part of Speech (POS) tagger to analyze the user requirements entered by the user in the English language. Then, extract the verbs and phrases, etc. in the user text. The obtained results showed that the proposed method got better results in comparison with other methods published in the literature. The proposed method gave a better analysis of the given requirements and better diagrams presentation, which can help the software engineers. Key words: Part of Speech,UM

This paper describes NL-OOPS, a CASE tool that supports requirements analysis by generating object oriented models from natural language requirements documents. The full natural language analysis is obtained using as a core system the Natural Language Processing System LOLITA. The object oriented analysis module implements an algorithm for the extraction of the objects and their associations for use in creating object models.

AbstractAutomated software engineering has attracted a large amount of research efforts. The use of object-oriented methods for software systems development has made it necessary to develop approaches that automate the construction of different Unified Modeling Language (UML) models in a semiautomated approach from textual user requirements. UML use case models represent an essential artifact that provides a perspective of the system under analysis or development. The development of such use case models is very crucial in an object-oriented development method. The main principles used in obtaining these models are described. A natural language processing tool is used to parse different statements of the user requirements written in Arabic to obtain lists of nouns, noun phrases, verbs, verb phrases, etc., that aid in finding potential actors and use cases. A set of steps that represent our approach for constructing a use case model are presented. Finally, the proposed approach is validated using an experiment involving a group of graduate students who are familiar with use case modeling.
