Designing Architecture With UML
This lesson explains how to apply UML diagrams to the solution architecture design process, mapping each architectural concern to specific diagram types such as class, component, sequence, activity, state, use case, and layer diagrams. It then covers three UML design strategies: UML as Sketch, UML as Blueprint, and UML as Validation. Finally, it reviews the built-in support Visual Studio offers for UML, including version control, forward and reverse engineering, and layer validation, while highlighting missing features and how to implement them via Visual Studio extensions and T4 templates.
