Visually developing C/C++ applications by using domain modeling diagrams

You can create C/C++ domain modeling class diagrams to examine and design artifacts of C/C++ applications by using UML notation in a single, tightly integrated development environment.

About this task

By using domain modeling class diagrams, you can examine an existing system to identify the system's components and interrelationships and to create representations of the system in another form. You can also use class diagrams to understand, analyze, and automatically abstract the system's structural information from code to a new form at a higher abstraction level. You can redesign the system for better maintainability or to produce a copy of a system without access to the design from which it was originally produced. You can also modify the target system or design and generate new systems.

A class diagram depicts some or all of the components or elements in an application. You can use class diagrams to examine and design the structures and relationships C/C++ classes and data types. You can create your own context to examine, understand, collaborate, and design, using a subset of the classes in an application. You can also design some C/C++ elements directly from class diagrams.

You can use sequence diagrams to examine and design behaviors and interactions of C/C++ applications or to visually represent C/C++ methods.

You can use ephemeral, non-editable browse diagrams to create quick static views and explore existing relationships in applications, and non-editable topic diagrams to create dynamic views of applications based on context and queries.
