Topic: - Use Case Diagrams - Sequence Diagram

The document discusses use case diagrams and sequence diagrams. It provides an overview of UML and defines use cases and actors. It then describes how to create a use case diagram, including advantages and limitations. Next, it defines sequence diagrams and how they show the order of object interactions. Steps for creating sequence diagrams are outlined. Finally, examples of a use case diagram for a restaurant and a sequence diagram for an email service are shown.

• Use Case diagrams


• Sequence diagram

1
Overview
• Introduction to UML(unified modeling
language).
• Use case diagrams.
• Sequence diagrams.

2
Unified modeling language
• It is a partial graphical representation of a model of a
system.
o Systems under design, implementation, or already
existing phase.
• Contains:
o Nodes
o Edges / paths
• Type of diagram is defined by Graphical symbol shown
on the diagram
o Class for class diagram
o Actors and use cases in use case diagram.

Use case
• Use case: List of actions or events, defining the
interactions between role(actors) and system.
• The actor can be a human, external system or
time.
• Defines mission and stakeholder goals.
• For example:
• Student: Take admission, attend classes, pay
fees.

5
Use case diagrams

• It consist of user’s interaction with the system


that shows the relationship between the user and
different use cases in which the user is involved.

6
Steps to be taken to build Use case diagram

• Analyze the system requirements and respectively


define the use cases of.
• Actors – consisting of people/external system
/organization.
• Relations between Actors and use cases
respectively.

Use case diagrams: Advantages
• List of goal names provide summary of what the
system will offer.
• Also provide project planning skeleton.
• The extension conditions of each use case
provide a framework.
• The full use case set shows that the investigators
have thought through every user’s needs, every
goal they have with respect to the system, and
every business variant involved.

9
Use case diagrams: Limitations
• Use cases are not well suited to capturing non-
interaction based requirements of a system.
• For some products and systems, use cases are
complex to write and to understand, for both end
users and developers.
• As there are no fully standard definitions of use
cases, each project must form its own
interpretation.

10
Sequence Diagrams

• A Sequence diagram is an interaction


diagram that shows how processes operate with
one another and in what order.
• A sequence diagram shows object interactions
arranged in time sequence.
• Sequence diagrams are sometimes called event
diagrams or event scenarios.

Sequence Diagrams
• Class and object diagrams provide a static view of the
system we are modeling
• In many cases, this is not sufficient for us to truly
understand how classes interact or how the system must
respond to varied run-time states

• Therefore, UML introduces 4 types of dynamic


diagrams: Sequence diagrams, Collaboration diagrams,
State diagrams and Activity diagrams, collectively
known as Behavioral diagrams

13
How to make Sequence Diagrams
1. Pick a scenario that you want to model
2. Try to identify the objects that will be involved in the
scenario
3. Line them across the top in the approximate order that
they're (listed in the order that they are used for the
scenario)
4. Draw dotted lines down indicating lifelines
5. Identify the first event (triggering event)
6. Draw a horizontal arrow from the object that sends a
message to the object that receives it
7. identify the next event and the objects involved
8. Redo steps 6 and 7 until the diagram is complete

Benefits of sequence diagrams

• UML sequence diagrams help you to envision


what will happen during the execution of a use
case

• They are great to help developers and business


analysts get to a common understanding
