Object is an instance of a particular moment in runtime, including objects and data values.
A static UML object diagram is an instance of a class diagram. it shows a snapshot of the
detailed state of a system at a point in time, thus an object diagram encompasses objects
and their relationships at a point in time. It may be considered a special case of a class
diagram or a communication diagram.
Purpose of Object Diagram
The use of object diagrams is fairly limited, mainly to show examples of data structures.
During the analysis phase of a project, you might create a class diagram to describe
the structure of a system and then create a set of object diagrams as test cases to verify
the accuracy and completeness of the class diagram.
Before you create a class diagram, you might create an object diagram to discover
facts about specific model elements and their links, or to illustrate specific examples
of the classifiers that are required.
Object Diagram at a Glance
An object diagram shows this relation between the instantiated classes and the defined class,
and the relation between these objects in the system. They are be useful to explain smaller
portions of your system, when your system class diagram is very complex, and also
sometimes modelling recursive relationship in diagram.
The best way to illustrate what an object diagram look like is to show the object diagram
derived from the corresponding class diagram.
