Terms used in enterprise testimonials

Term	What the Enterprise testimonials say	Plain-language reading
UML	A customer describes the UML paradigm as valuable for conceptualizing, visualizing, and organizing complex data structures and relationships. The customer also calls it an implicit form of documentation.	The structure of the system and the connections between its information can be represented visually, giving teams a shared reference point.
OCL	A customer says they use OCL for methods, attribute derivation, and association-end derivation. Another customer says they use OCL a lot.	In the testimonial, OCL is associated with defining model behavior and derived information.
ViewModels	A customer describes ViewModels as excellent for encapsulating use cases, either for behind-the-scenes data manipulation or for UI presentation and user interaction.	A ViewModel can organize a system around a particular task, whether that task is performed in the user interface or behind the scenes.
