Visual Paradigm

Visual Paradigm

UML and software modeling tool

Description

Drawing class or sequence diagrams by wrestling shapes in a generic diagram app is slow and unprofessional. Visual Paradigm is a dedicated software modeling tool: UML diagram types are built in, elements drag out with auto-aligning connectors and semantic constraints, so the result is clean and correct.

It goes beyond UML, also supporting database ERD, BPMN business processes and wireframes, so system design from requirements to database lives in one tool. Diagrams export to images, PDF or generated design documents. Java-based and cross-platform, with a free Community Edition for non-commercial use.
