Lecture 4 - Introduction To UML

This document discusses the Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML is a graphical language used to visualize, specify, construct and document software systems. It provides standard modeling diagrams and allows developers to model systems before writing code. The document outlines the basic UML diagrams including use case diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state diagrams. It also categorizes UML diagrams into structure, behavioral, and interaction diagrams and provides examples of each type.

Unified Modeling Language (UML)


“Owning a hammer doesn’t make one an
architect”

•Knowing an object-oriented language (such as


Java) is a necessary but insufficient first step to
create object oriented systems

•Knowing how to "think in objects" is critical

What is UML?
• UML (Unified Modeling Language)
▫ “A graphical language for visualizing,
specifying, constructing and documenting the
artifacts of a software intensive system”
[Booch]

▫ Nonproprietary standard for modeling


software systems – OMG
4

What is UML?
• Current Version: UML 2.5.1
▫ For details https://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5.1/

• UML Tools
▫ Rational (IBM)
▫ Together (Borland)
▫ Visual Architect (business processes, BCD)
▫ Open Source tools:
▫ ArgoUML
▫ StarUML

UML - Basic Diagrams


• 80-20 rule: Pareto principle
▫ 80% of your profits come from 20% of your
customers
▫ 80% of software problems are caused by 20% of
bugs
▫ 80% of users only use 20% of software features
• We can model 80% of the problems by
using about 20% UML
• We will mainly cover those 20%
7

UML - Basic Diagrams


• Use case diagrams
• Describe the functional behavior of the system as seen
by the user
• Class diagrams
• Describe the static structure of the system: Classes,
attributes, associations
• Sequence diagrams
• Describe dynamic behavior between objects of system
• State diagrams
• Describe the dynamic behavior of an individual object

An Example
• A "dice game" in which software simulates a
player rolling two dice

• If the total is seven, he wins; otherwise, he loses


9

Define Use Cases


• Play a Dice Game use case: Player requests to
roll the dice. System presents results: If the dice face
value totals seven, player wins; otherwise, player loses

Classifications of UML Diagrams


• Three classifications of UML diagrams:
1. Structure diagrams.  A type of diagrams that
depict the elements of a specification that are
irrespective of time. 
2. Behavioral diagrams.  A type of diagrams
that depict behavioral features of a system or
business process. 
3. Interaction diagrams.  A subset of behavior
diagrams which emphasize object interactions. 
11

Structure Diagrams
• Class Diagram
• Object Diagram
• Component Diagram
• Composite Diagram
• Package Diagram
• Deployment Diagram

The UML is NOT


• A visual programming language, but a
visual modeling language

• A tool or repository specification, but a


modeling language specification

• A process, but enables processes


28

Extensibility of UML

• Stereotypes
▫ Allows to define a new kind of model element
based on an existing one

▫ Basically adds extra semantics
