Before learning about object diagrams in UML, have a look at class diagrams in UML. An object diagram models the instances of classes in a class diagram. An object diagram contains objects and links connecting the related objects. Object diagrams allow us to model the static design view or static process view. It […]
To learn class diagrams, you must know about the concepts of classes, advanced classes, relationships and advanced relationships. Now, let’s start learning about class diagrams in UML: Class diagrams are most commonly found diagrams while modeling software systems. A class diagram consists of classes, collaborations and interfaces. A class diagram is used to […]
The things in diagrams are connected with one another through relationships. So, relationships are the connections between things. In UML, the four important relationships are dependency, generalization, association and realization. Each type of relationship has its own graphical representation. If you are familiar with the basics regarding the UML relationships, you can continue reading […]
If you are familiar with the basics of a class and its representation, you can continue reading this article. Otherwise, first read the basics about classes in UML. Introduction The fundamental building block in a object-oriented system is an object or class. However, in UML, class is not the only general building block. […]
In object oriented modeling we will view the software system as a collection of interacting objects. Related objects are grouped together into classes. So, every software system or application consists of classes and these classes collaborate with each other in some manner to achieve the functionality. Modeling is all about creating a simplification or […]
