Study Notes

Sequence Diagrams

The primary purpose of a sequence diagram is to show the interactions between objects in a system, emphasizing the order of events and the communications between objects.

Components of a Sequence Diagram

Lifelines in a sequence diagram represent the instances of classes, objects, or roles that participate in the interactions.

Visual Representation

The vertical axis in a sequence diagram represents time, with the top of the diagram indicating the earliest events and the bottom indicating the latest events.

Interaction Representation

Arrows in a sequence diagram typically represent the flow of messages, requests, or responses between objects, indicating the interactions and communications between them.

Interaction Focus

Sequence diagrams focus on the dynamic interactions between objects, highlighting the sequence of events, the flow of control, and the data exchanged between objects.
