Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Using UML

Flashcards on Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Using UML

Objects

Persons, places, or things that are relevant to the system being analyzed.

Classes

Defines the set of shared attributes and behaviors found in each object in the class.

Inheritance

When a derived class inherits all the attributes and behaviors of the base class.

CRC

Class, Responsibilities, Collaborators

Unified Modeling Language (UML)

Industry standard for modeling object-oriented systems.

CRC Cards

Used to represent the responsibilities of classes and the interaction between the classes.

Structural Things

Classes, interfaces, use cases, and other elements that provide a way to create models.

Behavioral Things

Interactions and state machines.

Group Things

Used to define boundaries.

Annotational Things

Used to add notes to the diagrams.

Structural Relationships

Tie things together in structural diagrams.

Behavioral Relationships

Used in behavioral diagrams.

Structural Relationships (Examples)

Dependencies, aggregations, associations, generalizations.

Behavioral Relationships (Examples)

Communicates, includes, extends, generalizes.

Structural Diagrams

Used to describe the relation between classes.

Behavioral Diagrams

Used to describe the interaction between people (actors) and a use case.

Structural Diagrams (Examples)

Class diagrams, object diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams

Behavioral Diagrams (Examples)

Use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, statechart diagrams, activity diagrams.

Use Case Diagram

Describing how the system is used; the starting point for UML modeling.

Activity Diagram

Illustrates the overall flow of activities.

Sequence Diagrams

Show the sequence of activities and class relationships.

Class Diagrams

Show classes and relationships.

Statechart Diagrams

Show the state transitions.

Activity Diagrams

Shows the sequence of activities in a process, including sequential and parallel activities, and decisions.

Packages

Containers for other UML things that show system partitioning.
