Object Diagram
An object diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), is a diagram that shows a complete
or partial view of the structure of a modeled system at a specific time. In other words, it
represents an instance of a class diagram which depicts a snapshot of the system at a particular
moment. Object diagrams and class diagrams are closely related and use almost identical
notation. Both diagrams are meant to visualize static structure of a system. While class
diagrams show classes, object diagrams display instances of classes (objects). Object diagrams
are more concrete than class diagrams. They are often used to provide examples or act as test
cases for class diagrams. Only aspects of current interest in a model are typically shown on an
object 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.
