Executable UML, often abbreviated to xtUML or xUML, "is a single language in the UML family, designed ... to define the semantics of subject matters precisely." Executable UML is the evolution of the Shlaer-Mellor method to UML. Executable UML is a profile of the UML, that graphically specifies a system "at the next higher level of abstraction, abstracting away both specific programming languages and decisions about the organization of the software." The models are testable, and can be compiled into a less abstract programming language to target a specific implementation. Executable UML supports MDA through specification of platform-independent models, and the compilation of the platform-independent models into platform-specific models.
