UML Introduction

• UML stands for Unified Modeling Language.
• The primary purpose of UML is to visualize, specify, construct, and document software systems.
• UML is different from programming languages as it is used for creating software blueprints.

UML Applicability

• UML can model both software and non-software systems.
• UML is general-purpose, meaning it is not specific to one programming language.
• UML can model all possible practical systems.

UML Building Blocks

• The purpose of a conceptual model in UML is to understand entities in the real world and their interactions.
• A conceptual model consists of concepts and their relationships.

Things

• Structural things in UML represent static parts of the model.
• Classes are a type of structural thing in UML.
• Behavioral things in UML represent dynamic parts of UML models.
• Packages are a type of grouping thing in UML, and notes are a type of annotational thing.

Relationships

• A dependency relationship in UML describes that a change in one thing affects the other.
• An association relationship in UML is a set of links that connect UML elements.
• A generalization relationship in UML describes the inheritance relationship.
• A realization relationship in UML connects elements where one describes a responsibility and the other implements it.

Diagrams

• Structural diagrams in UML capture the static features of a system.
• A class diagram is a type of structural diagram in UML.
• Behavioral diagrams in UML describe the interactions and dynamics in the system.
• A sequence diagram and an activity diagram are types of behavioral diagrams in UML.
