Software Modelling – Using


UML
Structural & Behavioural
Models
Somerville | Ch-5 (Pg.
149)
Structural models
• Structural models of software display the organization of
a system in terms of the components that make up that
system and their relationships.

• Structural models may be static models, which show the


structure of the system design, or dynamic models, which
show the organization of the system when it is executing.

• You create structural models of a system when you are


discussing and designing the system architecture.

Class diagrams
• Class diagrams are used when developing an object-
oriented system model to show the classes in a system
and the associations between these classes.

• An object class can be thought of as a general definition


of one kind of system object.

• An association is a link between classes that indicates


that there is some relationship between these classes.

• When you are developing models during the early stages of


the software engineering process, objects represent
something in the real world, such as a patient, a
prescription, doctor, etc. 3

Behavioral models
• Behavioral models are models of the dynamic
behavior of a system as it is executing.
• They show what happens or what is supposed
to happen when a system responds to a stimulus
from its environment.
• You can think of these stimuli as being of two types:
• Data Some data arrives that has to be processed by the
system.

• Events Some event happens that triggers system


processing. Events may have associated data, although this 6

is not always the case.


State machine models
• These model the behaviour of the system in response to
external and internal events.

• They show the system’s responses to stimuli so are


often used for modelling real-time systems.

• State machine models show system states as nodes


and events as arcs between these nodes. When an
event occurs, the system moves from one state to
another.

• State charts are an integral part of the UML and are


used to represent state machine models. 7
