Use Case Diagrams
Describe what a system does from the standpoint of an external observer. The emphasis is on what a system does rather than how. Are closely connected to scenarios. A scenario is an example of what happens when someone interacts with the system.

Use Case Diagrams
Example scenario "A patient calls the clinic to make an appointment for a yearly checkup. The receptionist finds the nearest empty time slot in the appointment book and schedules the appointment for that time slot. "

Use Case Diagrams
A use case diagram is a collection of actors, use cases, and their communications

Introduction to UML Diagrams
Importance of Use Case Diagrams
Determining features (requirements).
New use cases often generate new requirements as the system is analyzed and the design takes shape.
Communicating with clients.
Their notational simplicity makes use case diagrams a good way for developers to communicate with clients.
Generating test cases.
The collection of scenarios for a use case may suggest a suite of test cases for those scenarios.

Quick Review Question
Three items of interest in use case diagrams are:
Objects, activities, and communications Actors, messages, and activities Objects, use cases, and activities Actors, use cases, and communications

Class Diagrams
Gives an overview of a system by showing its classes and the relationships among them. Are static -- they display what interacts but not what happens when they do interact.

Class Diagrams

Introduction to UML Diagrams
Class Diagrams
association -- a relationship between instances of the two classes. In a diagram, an association is a link connecting two classes. aggregation -- an association in which one class belongs to a collection. An aggregation has a diamond end pointing to the part containing the whole.

Introduction to UML Diagrams
Class Diagrams
generalization -- an inheritance link indicating one class is a superclass of the other. A generalization has a triangle pointing to the superclass. An association has two ends. An end may have a role name to clarify the nature of the association. A navigability arrow on an association shows which direction the association can be traversed or queried.

Introduction to UML Diagrams
Class Diagrams
multiplicity of an association end is the number of possible instances of the class associated with a single instance of the other end. Multiplicities are single numbers or ranges of numbers. Multiplicities 0 ... 1 n ... m 0 ... * or * 1 1 ... *
CT026-1 Systems Analysis and Design
Meaning Zero or one instance indicates n to m instances no limit on the number of instances (including none) exactly one instance at least one instance
