Episode notes
Key Diagram Types to Use
- Use class diagrams to understand class dependencies and to prototype refactors.
- Use sequence diagrams to visualize user flows and code execution order for clarity and testing.
Choose Diagramming Tools Wisely
- Avoid manual drawing tools like Visio or draw.io due to maintenance challenges and out-of-sync diagrams.
- Use code-based diagram tools like Mermaid for version control integration and easy updates.
Use Class Diagrams for Domain Modeling
- Model domain concepts with class diagrams showing entities, inheritance, and multiplicities.
- Agree on domain terminology collaboratively to ensure everyone speaks the same language.
