| description | The use of agile methodology in software development projects is growing rapidly among industry professionals and academia. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) conventionally accompanies agile software development to model the software requirements. The user story is fundamental and should be identified to communicate the basic requirements between the development team and the stakeholders before the UML model such as the use case diagram, class diagrams and many others can be designed. However, there are several challenges associated with this process such as poorly organised user stories, natural language complexity and high time consumption to create them. A systematic literature review is conducted to grasp more knowledge about the utilisation of natural language processing (NLP) for UML model generation. A total of 198 papers were initially found in four online databases, namely Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect and ACM Digital Library, from the period 2018-2022. After removing duplicates, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, and conducting the full-text assessment, only 20 papers are included as the primary studies. The primary studies are reviewed to discover several important pieces of information, namely the challenges of designing UML models, NLP tools and techniques used to generate UML models, UML models generated, and validation methods used for measuring the accuracy of generated models. Finally, this study discusses important elements related to UML model generation using NLP tools and techniques. |
