Good Ole flowcharting. The past meets the future with Doxygen.

Very good post.

I for one still use flow charts. They are still the easiest way to get your flow thoughts together and identify information flow and command sequencing.

Great start.

Software design diagrams are usually drawn in UML

Do people really formally use UML?

In a fair amount of years of software design I've not seen it used much at all. I've seen the books and software tools on the shelves though, but not used!

But then I've only worked in certain industries.. is UML is more prevalent in others?

Usually, I see tons of message flow diagrams, block diagrams, drawings, use-cases, tables, class hierarchy and class documentation, pseudocode and text.

Granted some of that is also part of UML diagrams in some way, but I don't see people actually modelling using UML at all.
