    This document discusses class diagrams and software design. It explains that class diagrams show the classes in a system and the associations between classes, with each class representing a type of object. Classes have attributes and operations, and associations indicate relationships between classes. The document provides an example class diagram for a patient management system to demonstrate how classes and associations are used to model real-world objects and their relationships.

    Objects

    Objects represent something in the real world, such as a


    patient, a prescription, a doctor, etc.

    May need to define additional implementation objects that


    are used to provide the required system functionality

    CS253: Software Development and Operations Software Design 2/9


    Class Diagrams

    Class diagrams are used when developing an


    object-oriented system model

    Shows the classes in a system and the associations


    between these classes

    An object class can be thought of as a general definition of


    one kind of system object

    An association is a link between classes that indicates that


    there is a relationship between these classes

    Each class may have to have some knowledge of its


    associated class

    CS253: Software Development and Operations Software Design 3/9


    Classes and Association

    Look at the world, identify the essential objects, and


    represent these as classes

    Note the existence of an association

    Name associations to give the reader an indication of the


    type of relationship that exists

    Show how many objects are involved in the association
