  2. UML Diagrams • Use Case diagrams • Class diagrams • Object diagrams • Sequence diagrams • Collaboration diagrams • State chart diagrams • Activity diagrams • Component diagrams • Deployment diagrams

  3. Object Diagrams • Useful when you model reflexive associations • Represent Data, or samples of data • Object Diagrams are static Underline means an object

  4. Sequence Diagrams • Detail how operations are carried out • Dynamic Diagrams • Organized according to time • The time progresses as you go down the page • The objects involved in the operation are listed from left to right according to when they take part in the message sequence. • Create a sequence diagram for each scenario

  5. Sequence Diagrams

  6. Sequence Diagrams • Sequence diagrams show how instance exchange messages. • An instance can be: • An object, not a class • An actor

  7. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Simple • One object sends a message to a passive object • The sender does not care what happens to the message • Useful when the recipient can not be controlled

  8. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Synchronous • The sender sends the message • The recipient accepts the message, and notifies the sender with a message result. • The sender accepts the message result. • If the sender does not accept the message result, then the whole operation will not continue. • Synchronous messages are useful to represent procedure calls or modal dialogs.

  9. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Asynchronous • The sender sends the message • The sender does not wait for the return of the message, it immediately continues execution. • The recipient may or may not send a reply. • Asynchronous messages are useful to model • Multithreading • Windows hooks • Windows sub-classing • Exception Handling • Modeless dialogs

  10. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Timeouts • The sender sends the message • The sender awaits for the return of the message for some time. • Execution continues when the recipient replies, or after the timeout period if the recipient does not reply • The recipient may or may not send a reply. • Timeout messages are useful to model • System Calls • Cross-component calls

  11. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Return messages • Results of procedure calls

  12. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Constructors • The message creates the recipient

  13. Sequence Diagrams • Messages can be Destructors • The message destroys the recipient

  14. Sequence Diagrams • Messages have sequence numbers • The numbers represent the order of interaction

  15. Sequence Diagrams • Messages have sequence numbers • Sequence number can be hierarchical

  16. Sequence Diagrams • Messages have a specific format [Condition] Sequence Number. Return value := MessageName(Arguments) *[iteration] [Condition] Sequence Number. Return value := MessageName(Arguments)

  17. When to use Sequence Diagrams • To specify how instances interact • To show what happens before the other • To show the relationships/dependencies between interactions • To clarify each object requirements for all the possible scenarios of the system

  18. Effective Sequence Diagrams • Use only instances and actors • Concentrate on actions, not on instance static details • Imaging as much real time scenarios as you can, and model them • Keep in mind that a programmer will read your design, so make it as clear as possible.

  19. Collaboration Diagrams • Represent Object roles in a scenario of interactions • Are synonymous to sequence diagrams • Use the same message formats

  20. Collaboration Diagrams

  21. Collaboration Diagrams • Used to understand the structure of a scenario • Used to concentrate on what happens to each instance as a whole. • Can be converted to sequence scenarios

  22. Static Modeling • Diagrams • Use Case Diagrams • Class Diagrams • Object Diagrams • Represent a static view of the system • Represent what happens, and who participates

  23. Interaction Modeling • Diagrams • Sequence Diagrams • Collaboration Diagrams • Represent how things happen • Conditions • Flow of interactions • Flow of events • Flow of information

  24. Workshop • Expand the previous workshop with the necessary interaction models • Collaboration diagrams for each scenario • Sequence diagram for each scenario
