    Study Notes

    Behavioural Diagrams

    • Examples include use case diagrams and activity diagrams.

    Class Diagrams

    • Class diagrams are classified as structural diagrams.
    • They showcase static model elements like classes and their relationships, attributes, and behaviors.

    Importance of Class Diagrams

    • Essential for understanding problem domains, identifying 'things', their attributes, and behaviors.
    • Serve as the central model throughout the object-oriented (OO) development life cycle, ensuring consistency with other models.

    Function and Structure

    • Class diagrams are continuously built and refined, acting as the focal point of OO development.
    • They dictate the structure of the software system through their elements.

    Public Interface

    • Refers to the set of behaviors or functionalities used to interact with an object.

    Domain Class Diagram

    • Initially depicts a visual dictionary of key abstractions, domain vocabulary, and the content within the problem domain.
    • Contains entity classes identified in the project and displays their relationships.

    Entity Classes

    • Represent the objects needing data storage, such as a patient with a medical record and possible prescriptions.

    Requirements and Workflows

    • Class diagrams are foundational in requirements, analysis, and design workflows.

    Object-Orientation

    • OO stands for object-oriented, which is based on a system of objects.

    Abstraction

    • Represents a simplified simulation of the real world to manage complexity in system design.
    • Example: From a university perspective, key attributes of a person include name, address, and educational background, while medical attributes might involve heart rate and temperature.

    Problem Domain

    • The specific focus area of a business included in the new system's scope.

    Analysis Benefits

    • Helps gain an understanding of domain elements, their attributes, and behaviors.

    Domain Classes

    • Objects within the domain represent various "things" end users interact with.
    • These "things" can be tangible (e.g., animals, books) or intangible (e.g., emotions, payments).

    Practical Example

    • In developing a system for COVID-19 testing, the problem domain comprises all procedures and components involved, including patients and staff, equipment, and intangible diagnoses.

    Entity Identification Techniques

    • Common techniques for identifying entities in a problem domain include brainstorming and noun techniques.

    Brainstorming Technique

    • Engages users in discussing important elements within the problem domain, considering varied perspectives of different users.
