Visual Paradigm Community Edition

Visual Paradigm Community Edition is a complex UML modeling application designed to ease the work of software developers. It offers a complete platform to ease the development process and supports round-trip code engineering for C#.NET, VB.NET and C++.NET.
Due to its complexity, the application is not recommended for beginners. However, advanced developers can find its features useful for creating UML models, generate code from class diagrams and deploy applications, as the program supports the full development life cycle.
The Community Edition provides basic UML modeling features, allowing you to create use case, requirement and entity relationship diagrams. In addition, it provides integration with some of the most popular IDEs, such as Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio. Visio drawings can be embedded in UML models, as Visio integration is also supported.
You can create all kinds of UML diagrams using this tool, from use case and class diagrams to communication, activity, component or composite structure diagrams. Also, you can use the requirement modeling features to create SysML diagrams, perform use case modeling and textual analysis. Developers can implement diagram projects, modify a diagram and perform class diagram synchronization, in order to update the generated source code.
The software comes with database modeling capabilities and provides the tools that development teams need for software planning or class modeling. Furthermore, the flow of events editor enables you to track every user action within a use case modeling project.
As mentioned above, the Community Edition provides the basic tools for UML modeling, but if you want more diagram types and even more features, you should try another edition.
Code generation, round-trip engineering, model and diagram editing, IDE integration and custom report generation are just a few of the advantages that make Visual Paradigm Community Edition one viable solution for working with the Unified Modeling Language.
