Abstract

This paper presents a simple lightweight Case tool to support manipulation of UML sequence diagrams. The tool is intended to have high usability to facilitate communication and discussion in the early part of the design process, where sequence diagrams are frequently used to explore and explain object interaction. The tool is web-based to maximise accessibility and use by teams, and uses a simple yet effective image tiling technology to allow manipulation of the diagrams from any web browser.
