# UML
|
|
|
|
A standard set of model constructs and notation defined by the object management group
|
|
|
|
specify what not how
|
|
|
|
- activity diagrams
|
|
- high level for business prcesses workflows
|
|
- low level for dtailed business logic
|
|
- advantages
|
|
- describe workflows
|
|
- specify relative processing rder of activites
|
|
- simple
|
|
- can be shown to stakeholders for checking and confirmation
|
|
|
|
enables implementation-independent specification of:
|
|
- user/system interactions
|
|
- partitioning of responsibility
|
|
- integration with larger or existing systems
|
|
- data flow and dependency
|
|
- order of operations (algorithms and processes)
|
|
- concurrent operations
|
|
|
|
## 1 why is is useful
|
|
- helps develop efficient effective correct designs
|
|
- better communication with project stakeholders
|
|
- gives a big picture view of the project system
|
|
- independent of specific programming languages or development processes
|
|
- de facto standard for modelling OO systems
|
|
|
|
## 2 what it is not
|
|
- visual modelling software
|
|
- a programming languages
|
|
- a software development process, method, or methodology
|
|
|
|
## 3 Types of diagram
|
|
### 3.1 structural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.2 behavioural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.3 Linked diagrams
|
|
each digram type models a dfiferenct aspect of the system
|
|
many of the diagrams link to each other
|
|
- e.g., use case, sequence, activity
|
|
- e.g., object, communication
|
|
|
|
e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.4 Activites and transitions
|
|
|
|
- activities
|
|
- take place over some pariod of time
|
|
- linked by transitions (arrows)
|
|
- only one starting point potentaily many ending conditions
|
|
|
|
- Transitions
|
|
- have guard conditions that must be satisfied before the transition can occur
|
|
|
|
### 3.5 Decision points
|
|
- represent conditional branching
|
|
- two or more alternative transitions depending on condition
|
|
- every transiiton exiting the decision point must have a guard condition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.6 Synchonisation bars
|
|
- represents two or more activites running in parallel
|
|
- transitions can be split into mutiple paths and recombined later
|
|
- if a workflow is split then it must be recombined on the same diagram
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.7 swim lanes
|
|
- same as BPMN
|
|
- show who is responsible for a process
|
|
- can represent
|
|
- business organisations
|
|
- depts
|
|
- people (actors)
|
|
- can simplify processes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3.8 relationships to use cases
|
|
- use case diagrams show the high level interactions between actors and cases
|
|
- high level activity diagrams show the sequence of use cases within a workflow
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
