Software and Database Design with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Unified Modeling Language (abbr. UML) is a modeling language used by software developers and software engineers for developing diagrams, expressive modeling, visualization, construction, specification, and documentation an information about software-intensive systems. There are used many types of UML diagrams, joined in main groups, each of them has its own functional abilities and applications: Behaviour diagrams illustrate the functionality of software systems, Structuring diagrams depict a structure of objects at the systems, Interaction diagrams show the flow of control and data among the things in a modeling system. UML has a lot of practical applications in varied areas, among them software development, hardware design, banking and financial services, telecommunication, science, research, enterprise information system, distributed Web-based services, user interfaces for web applications, medical electronics, patient healthcare systems, etc. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Rapid UML solution is a perfect tool for UML diagramming.

How to Design an Interface Mockup for iPhone Application

The Apple iPhone user interface has become something of a standard for smartphones, and mobile devices in general. A well-designed user interface (UI) is very important for user-friendly navigation and the best correlation with operating system logic. Development of successful iPhone App UI requires a planning and prototyping stage. An iPhone UI diagram can be employed to give a general view of the device's screen, upon which elements can be placed and re-arranged as necessary. Using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you can mock-up an iPhone UI system so that you can figure out how best to represent user interface (UI) elements for the development of a new iPhone App.

How to Design a Mockup of Apple macOS Sierra GUI

Since that first Macintosh, Apple has always developed and used their own hardware specific operating system. The fundamental style and layout of the Mac OS X user interface have remained largely in place since the earliest versions, but there have been obvious aesthetic enhancements, and elements of icon redesign to match branding across devices. To design an effective user interface, graphic designers will create visual GUI prototypes, that focus on maximizing the user experience. Uses Interface prototyping is much convenient when you can work through a diagram similar to the OS X design. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to develop Apple OS X User Interface (UI) prototypes using the special templates and vector libraries of the specific user interface elements. ConceptDraw Mac OS X UI solution offers libraries containing the distinct Mac app icons, menu bar graphics, glyph elements and other Mac OS X features — everything necessary to create a high standard, professional UI graphic design.

How to Design a Mockup of Windows 10 User Interface

The launch of Windows 10 with its the tile-based Modern UI design brings a lot of new opportunities for both designers and developers to build new apps. To design an effective user interface, graphic designers will create visual Graphic User Interface (GUI) prototypes, that focus on maximizing the user experience — searching for the most functional layout that attends to core user needs, while retaining an appropriate aesthetic. It is important to know how the user will interact with the UI, and how functionality and appearance will change, depending on the features being used at any one time. The Modern UI design style has its own unique principles and typography that can be managed using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. The ability to design Windows 10 User Interface is delivered by the Windows 10 User Interface solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.

Wireframe GUI - Template

Use this template to prototype and design the wireframe graphic user interface (GUI).
"A website wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website. Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. The purpose is usually being informed by a business objective and a creative idea. The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website’s content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together. The wireframe usually lacks typographic style, color, or graphics, since the main focus lies in functionality, behavior, and priority of content. In other words, it focuses on what a screen does, not what it looks like. Wireframes can be pencil drawings or sketches on a whiteboard, or they can be produced by means of a broad array of free or commercial software applications. Wireframes are generally created by business analysts, user experience designers, developers, visual designers and other roles with expertise in interaction design, information architecture and user research.
Wireframes focus on:
(1) The kinds of information displayed.
(2) The range of functions available.
(3) The relative priorities of the information and functions.
(4) The rules for displaying certain kinds of information.
(5) The effect of different scenarios on the display.
The website wireframe connects the underlying conceptual structure, or information architecture, to the surface, or visual design of the website. Wireframes help establish functionality, and the relationships between different screen templates of a website. An iterative process, creating wireframes is an effective way to make rapid prototypes of pages, while measuring the practicality of a design concept. Wireframing typically begins between “high-level structural work - like flowcharts or site maps - and screen designs.” Within the process of building a website, wireframing is where thinking becomes tangible.
Aside from websites, wireframes are utilized for the prototyping of mobile sites, computer applications, or other screen-based products that involve human-computer interaction." [Website wireframe. Wikipedia]
The wireframe GUI template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Graphic User Interface solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Develop Website Wireframes

Website design is a rather complicated process. The development of a website wireframe is an important step in any screen design process. The first step of this process before coding can start, a web designer creates a website wireframe — a mock-up for what will be displayed on the screen when navigating through the web site pages. A wireframe design always includes three components: Information design, navigation design, and interface design. The configuration of these components depends on the business model of the website. The Website Wireframing tools provided with ConceptDraw Website Wireframe solution helps to define the information hierarchy of website design, making it easier for web-developers to plan the layout according to how a site visitor has to process the information.

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (abbr. SSADM) is a method developed in Great Britain and accepted in 1993 as a national standard for information systems development and analysis. SSADM is based on Data Flow Diagrams and is characterized with presence of clear sequence of steps at projecting, analysis, and documenting of information system. It involves 6 main stages: analysis of existing system or estimation of practicability, requirements definition, determination of technical requirements and equipment cost, development of logical data model, projecting of logical requirements and specification them, physical projecting. Each of them is also divided into several steps defining the tasks that should be fulfilled at a given stage. The most important SSADM elements are flows modeling with help of DFD, data logic modeling with help of LDS (Logical Data Structure) and description of entities behavior. Applying of SSADM is easy with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software and Data Flow Diagram solution.
