The developing of internet worldwide encourages the research in Software Engineering fields in the development of numerous analysis and design methods used in Software Development. Among these methods, Unified Modelling Language (UML) has been known to Software developers as a popular object-oriented tool to analyze and design a system. On the other hand, a less known tool, Agent Modeling Language (AML), is a semi-formal visual modeling language for specifying, modelling and documenting system that incorporate features drawn from multi-agent system theory. This research presents an overview of UML and AML using the case of Virtual Bubble Tea Vending Machine Software development. This research also compares UML and AML methods in analyzing phase and designing phase in system development.
