Defi nition
A rationale documents the principles or reasons for a modeling choice.
It is a stereotype ?«rationale?» of the UML element comment.
Your model is full of analysis and design choices. It is normally diffi cult for a
reader of the model to reproduce them. This can lead to diffi culty in understanding
and misunderstandings. This problem can easily be solved by using a comment
that describes the modeling rationale ( Figure 4.59 ).
The stereotype ?«rationale?» characterizes this type of comments.
