Abstract
The fit of a tool to user profile has impact on the extent to which the tool supports the tasks performed by users during their work. It is related to effectiveness of use. As UML tools are usually general-purpose modeling tools, the question is whether they really support specific groups of their users. The research presented in this paper includes: identification of profiles of UML tools users, identification of features of UML tools which have impact on the fit to the profiles, a model for relating the profiles and the features of UML tools, a prototype of a tool for evaluating the fit to user profiles and case studies of applying this tool for evaluation.
