Visual Modeling

Visual Modeling is a software development methodology that uses graphical representations, such as diagrams and charts, to design, analyze, and communicate system architectures, processes, and data structures. It helps developers and stakeholders visualize complex systems, identify requirements, and plan implementations more effectively. Common tools include UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams, flowcharts, and entity-relationship diagrams.

Also known as: Diagramming, UML Modeling, System Modeling, Graphical Design, Architectural Visualization
🧊Why learn Visual Modeling?

It is particularly useful in large-scale or enterprise applications where documenting architecture, workflows, and data models is critical for maintenance and scalability. Use cases include software design documentation, business process analysis, and database schema planning.
