A process of automatically translating a high level programming language into an extended activity diagram (EAD), which can translate source codes coded by the high level programming language into a corresponding activity diagram (AD) before the high level language is translated into a hardware description language (HDL). The process adds a new translation rule in a compiler and modifies the AD specification of a unified modeling language (UML) to accordingly translate the source codes into the AD and present the programming logic and executing flow of the source codes in a visualization form. In addition, the process can translate the high level programming language into a unified format for representation, and the AD can benefit simulation and requirement in a following HDL translation.
