If you need to create sequence diagrams quickly and do not have the time to use the more traditional Software Modeling tools; Together, Enterprise Architect, Visio etc. you should take a look at www.websequencediagrams.com.
This handy little tool is pretty capable for a free web based utility and is very easy to use. It took me just seconds to create the simple sequence diagram below…
So the next time you need to create UML sequence diagrams in a hurry make sure to check out this very useful tool.
Wow man, that’s pretty impressive, I’d love to see someone start creating more diagrams using this technique. Great post!
Hi Eric,
Did you know about Trace Modeler? It’s an easy to use and smart UML sequence diagram editor. It is an offline tool that combines drag & drop with full automatic layout. This means that you are free to focus on the content, while it takes care of all the rest.
It’s great for sketching and has some neat features like control flow highlighting, smart comment connectors, call inlining, easy scrolling and zooming, a special mode for presentations, etc.
If you’re in a hurry, here’s a 30 sec demo of Trace Modeler in action.
Let me know what you think of it, I’m always happy to get feedback!
Best regards,
Yanic
