Study Notes

UML Notation for State Transition

A State Transition Diagram shows the different states an object can be in and the transitions between them.
A state transition can have an associated action, guard condition, and/or trigger an event.

State Transition Diagram – Hotel Room Class

The state transition diagram for the Hotel Room class shows the different states a hotel room can be in (e.g. Open, Closed, Canceled).

State Transition Diagram – Course Class

The state transition diagram for the Course class shows the different states a course can be in (e.g. Initialized, Open, Canceled).

Sequence Diagrams

A sequence diagram shows the interactions between objects over time.
UML 2.0 allows for framing sequence diagrams with a border and compartment to identify the diagram.
Interaction fragments can be combined and reused in sequence diagrams.

User Interface for Borrowing Use Case

The user interface for borrowing a book involves entering a copy ID, checking if the book is available, and updating borrowed copy details.
Alternate flows include checking for borrower ID, overdue books, and maximum borrowed books.

Working with State Diagrams

Use cases and scenarios describe system behavior and interactions with users and other systems.
State diagrams model the changes one object goes through, helping analysts, designers, and developers understand object behavior.

Importance of State Diagrams

State diagrams are important because they model the changes one object goes through.
Developers need to know how objects are supposed to behave and implement these behaviors in software.
State diagrams help analysts, designers, and developers understand object behavior in a system.
