Activity 2:

Let’s consider an online bookstore, as described by the following sequence diagram. You have to
choose the answer (I-IV) that shows the right time ordering of the steps A-F, according to the
diagram:

A: The system will return all books with that title.


B: The customer can repeat the interaction as many times as desired.
C: The customer begins the interaction by searching for a book by title.
D: The customer can purchase the items in the cart by checking out.

E: The customer can place a book in the shopping cart.


F: The customer can look at the book description.

I. C, A, F, E, D, B
II. C, A, B, F, E, D
III. A, B, C, D, E, F
IV. A, C, B, D, E, F

Activity 3:

Which of the following are good reasons to make a sequence diagram before starting to code?

A: Sequence diagrams are language-agnostic (can be implemented in many different languages)


B: Non-coders can read and write sequence diagrams.
C: Easier to do sequence diagrams as a team (business and IT people team).
D: All of the above

Activity 4:

Please study the class and sequence diagrams, and the Python code below, that describe the design
using a strategy pattern for the rock-scissors-paper game.

Now, answer the following questions:


1. Briefly explain why using a strategy design pattern for this problem (game programming) is a
good solution.
2. Who are the participants in the sequence diagram?
3. What are the responsibilities and methods assigned to the concrete strategies objects,
according to the diagrams?
4. Which are the concrete strategies of the design pattern choosen for each player?
5. Why are the initial messages of the sequence diagram shown as dotted arrows?
6. Consider the loop block of the sequence diagram. Explain the operations that take place, and
match these interaction messages with the corresponding code sections.
