Expected Outcomes
• To know how sequence diagram represent system logic
What is a Sequence Diagram?
Sequence diagrams describe interactions among classes in terms of an
exchange of messages over time. They're also called event diagrams.

A sequence diagram is a good way to visualize and validate various


runtime scenarios.
What is a Sequence Diagram?
These can help to predict how a system will behave and to discover
responsibilities a class may need to have in the process of modelling a
new system.

Sequence Diagrams captures high-level interactions between user of


the system and the system, between the system and other systems, or
between subsystems (sometimes known as system sequence diagrams).
Sequence Diagrams at a Glance
Sequence Diagrams show elements as they interact over time and they are organized according to
object (horizontally) and time (vertically):

Object Dimension Time Dimension


The horizontal axis shows the elements that  The vertical axis represents time proceedings (or
are involved in the interaction progressing) down the page.

Conventionally, the objects involved in the


operation are listed from left to right  Note that:
according to when they take part in the
message sequence. However, the elements on Time in a sequence diagram is all a about ordering,
the horizontal axis may appear in any order not duration. The vertical space in an interaction
diagram is not relevant for the duration of the
interaction.

means that more time has passed.

Message
Messages show the information being sent
between objects. Sequence diagrams show the
order of interactions or sequences and they do this
by moving down the lifeline with each message.

when an object sends a message back, this is


called a return or reply message and they're
Reply / Return always represented by a dashed line which often
moved from right to left
