Abstract

This paper presents a research proposal on how and why we are investigating the benefits of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) in software maintenance tasks. The principal objective is to present the main research questions, along with an explanation of which research methods we propose to use to obtain the answers to these questions in an empirical manner.
