Visual design: Class diagrams can help developers understand the relationships and structure between classes in a system more intuitively, providing a visual design tool.
Code refactoring: By analyzing the class diagram, developers can more easily identify issues and imperfections in the system, and make appropriate refactor optimizations to improve the system’s maintainability and scalability.
Code generation: Class diagrams can serve as a reference for code generation tools, assisting developers in quickly generating code and reducing the amount of manual coding work.
Communication and Collaboration: Class diagrams can serve as a tool for communication and collaboration, helping development teams work together more effectively and understand system design better, thereby reducing communication misunderstandings.
Document Generation: Class diagrams can be included as part of the system design documents, helping developers and project participants to better understand the structure and design ideas of the system.
