Study Notes

UML Class Diagrams and Sequence Diagrams

  • UML class diagrams are graphical representations of a system's static structure, showing classes, attributes, and relationships.
  • Classes are the building blocks of object-oriented systems. They define the data members and member functions shared by objects.
  • Class diagrams use rectangles with compartments for class name, attributes, and operations.
  • Attributes are properties shared by all instances of a class.
  • Operations are actions performed on objects of a class.
  • Associations between classes describe legitimate connections.
  • Associations can be uni-directional or multi-directional. Special types of associations include aggregation and composition.
  • Aggregation is a part-whole relationship where the existence of related class is not dependent on the whole class.
  • Composition is a stronger part-whole relationship where the life cycle of the part depends on the whole.
  • Multiplicity indicates the number of instances of one class related to another class.
  • Sequence diagrams represent the behavioral aspects of a system by illustrating interactions between objects over time.
  • Sequence diagrams use objects and their life-line bars to show the sequence of messages exchanged between objects.
  • Messages represent interactions between objects. These can include synchronous (sender waits for a response) or asynchronous (sender doesn't wait).

Elements in a Class Diagram

  • Class diagrams show classes and their relationships.
  • Classes are represented by rectangles divided into compartments.
  • Class name is in the top compartment.
  • Attributes are in the middle compartment.
  • Operations are in the bottom compartment.

Elements in Sequence Diagram

  • Sequence diagrams show the interactions between objects over time.
  • Objects are represented by rectangles at the top of the diagram.
  • Life-lines are vertical lines extending downward from each object.
  • Messages are shown as arrows connecting two objects.

Objectives

  • Graphically represent classes and associations between them.
  • Identify the logical sequence of activities in a system.
  • Pictorially represent the sequence of activities in a system.

Structural and Behavioral Aspects

  • Developing software using object-oriented approaches requires understanding the problem's aspects.
  • Structural aspects and their models provide a clear picture of the problem context.
  • Behavioral aspects and their models illustrate the problem's execution flow.
