Well...Although I have not done this much, but I believe a modelling tool
like UML helps when you show your design to somebody else and secondly there
might be cases where UML like modelling tools may also be converted to some
specific code.

Well, I vote for pencil :). That said, I start with a pencil and paper (or
whiteboard) to help me understand things at a high level and then move to
writing specs. My primary design tool for detail design is a TDD framework.

As most answers on this list imply, "software design" is a very "personal"
thing. For a lot of programmers there is no explicit "design phase" - they
just start coding. Some others need a "talking board" - usually another
programmer or sometimes even the ether.

UI? http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups is popular. I prefer
paper/whiteboard. Nothing beats having a designer do it for
Nothing beats a clean white sheet of paper and a nice pen for me. No
enforced structure. No barriers. Once I start, I use org mode to keep
a log/track. I also find that writing documentation before the program
