Software Modeling

This section covers various modeling techniques used in software engineering to analyze, design, and document software systems. These models provide a way to visualize the structure, behavior, and architecture of a system from different perspectives.

Modeling Categories

We will explore the following categories of software models:

  • Context Modeling: Defines the boundary and scope of a system by showing how it interacts with its external environment.
  • Interaction Modeling: Illustrates the interactions between system components or between the system and its actors.
  • Structural Modeling: Describes the static structure of the system, including its classes, components, and their relationships.
  • Behavioral Modeling: Shows the dynamic behavior of the system in response to internal or external events.
  • C4 Model: A modern, hierarchical approach to visualizing software architecture at different levels of abstraction.
  • C2-style Architecture: A specific architectural style emphasizing a message-based communication paradigm among independent components.
