MVC Properties Graphically

Introduction:

MVC stands for Model View Controller which is not a programming language but is a design pattern which is used to develop the application. The application which has developed by using MVC design pattern will get divided in 3 Components. In which Model will contain all the data which will get retrieve on the request of user. View will contain UI code and Controller will contain Business logic code.

MVC Properties

MVC Properties are the following:

1. Loose Coupling
2. Light weight code
3. Effective looks
4. More Security
5. Easy Testing

Loose Coupling

Loose coupling is one of the properties of MVC which is referred as one component get interact with another component without any mediator. In MVC, Model get interact to View, View get interact to Controller and Controller get interact to Model without any mediator as in the following figure:

Light weight Code:

MVC based developed application contains less code compared to the application which has developed in other based. The application which get develop by using MVC design pattern contains very less code compared to traditional way of development of application as in the following figure 1 and 2:

Effective looks

User Interface of application which has developed using MVC design patterns will be more effective compared to the application which has been developed in traditional way (ASP.NET). The looks of UI has been compared by the following figure EL(a) and Fig EL(b).

Security

The application which has been developed in MVC design pattern will be more secure and trustable. The security of MVC has been shown in the following figure:

Testing of application which has been developed on MVC design pattern is very easy. MVC based application gets divided in 3 components, so it is very easy to test the component separately without effecting any component.
