Class Diagram
It is a static diagram.
It represents the static view of an application.
It is used for visualizing, describing, and documenting different
aspects of a system as well as for constructing executable code
of the software application..
It describes the attributes and operations of a class and also the
constraints imposed on the system.
it is widely used in the modeling of object oriented systems.
It shows a collection of classes, interfaces, associations,
collaborations, and constraints.
It is also known as a structural diagram.
Class Diagram cont.
Purpose of Class Diagrams

Analysis and design of the static view of an application.
Describe responsibilities of a system.
Base for component and deployment diagrams.
Forward and reverse engineering
Class Diagram cont.
How to Draw a Class Diagram?
The name of the class diagram should be meaningful to describe
the aspect of the system.
Each element and their relationships should be identified in
advance.
Responsibility (attributes and methods) of each class should be
clearly identified
For each class, minimum number of properties should be
specified, as unnecessary properties will make the diagram
complicated.
Use notes whenever required to describe some aspect of the
diagram. At the end of the drawing it should be understandable
to the developer/coder.
Class Diagram cont.
Class name
The name of the class appears in the first partition.
Class Attributes
Attributes are shown in the second partition.
The attribute type is shown after the colon.
Class Operations (Methods)
Operations are shown in the third partition.
The return type of a method is shown after the colon at the end
of the method signature.
The return type of method parameters are shown after the
colon following the parameter name.
Class Visibility
Visibility of attributes and operations are denoted by the +, -
and # symbols.

Use Case Diagram
It is a representation of a user’s interaction with the system that

shows the relationship between the user and the different use
cases in which the user is involved.
It is the primary form of system/software requirements for a new
software program underdeveloped.
Use cases specify the expected behavior (what), and not the
exact method of making it happen (how).
It helps us design a system from end user’s perspective.
Use case diagrams consists of actors, use cases and their
relationships.
Use case diagrams are drawn to capture the functional
requirements of a system.
Use Case Diagram cont.
Purpose of Use Case Diagrams

Any real-world system is used by different users.
Before designing a system, the architecture is made with
different perspectives in mind.
Use Case is primarily
Used to gather the requirements of a system.
Used to get an outside view of a system.
used to identify the external and internal factors influencing the
system.
Used to validate a systems architecture
Used to drive implementation and generate test cases
Use Case Diagram cont.
How to Draw a Use Case Diagram?
Identify the
Functionalities to be represented as use case.
Actors.
Relationships among the use cases and actors.
Give name to use cases that identify the functionalities they
performed.
Give a suitable name for actors.
Show relationships and dependencies clearly in the diagram.
Do not try to include all types of relationships, as the main
purpose of the diagram is to identify the requirements.
Use notes whenever required to clarify some important points.
