Interactions

An interaction is a communication between objects in a system that results in

the exchange of information or services.
It represents a collaborative effort between objects to achieve a specific goal.

3
Types of Interactions


Synchronous interaction: The sender waits for a response from the
receiver before continuing.

Asynchronous interaction: The sender doesn't wait for a response and
can proceed with other tasks.

4
Interaction Diagrams


Visual representations of interactions between objects.

Employ UML (Unified Modeling Language) notation to depict objects,
messages, lifelines, and sequences.

5
Types of Interaction Diagrams

Sequence diagram: Focuses on the temporal ordering of messages exchanged

between objects.
Collaboration diagram: Emphasizes the structural organization of objects involved in an
interaction and their message flow.

6
Sequence Diagram Example

->Illustrates a sequence of
interactions between a
Customer and an Order object.
->The Customer sends
messages to the Order object
to place, modify, or cancel an
order.
->The Order object responds to
these messages, performing
the requested operations.

8
Use Cases


Descriptions of how actors (users, external systems) interact with a system
to achieve specific goals.

Capture the functional requirements of a system from the user's
perspective.

9
Use Case Components


Actor: An external entity that interacts with the system.

Goal: The objective that an actor wants to achieve by interacting with the
system.

Preconditions: Conditions that must be met before the use case can begin.

Postconditions: Conditions that hold true after the use case has completed
successfully.

Basic flow: The main sequence of steps involved in the use case.

Alternative flows: Variations from the basic flow that may occur due to
errors, exceptions, or user choices.

10
Use Case Diagrams


Visual representations of the interactions between actors and a system to
achieve specific goals.

Employ UML notation to depict actors, use cases, and their relationships.

Use Case Diagram Example

12
Activity Diagrams


Visual representations of the flow of activities within a system.

Employ UML notation to depict activities, decisions, flows, and object
nodes.

Summary

Interactions, interaction diagrams, use cases, use case diagrams, and activity
diagrams are fundamental concepts in behavioral modeling.


They provide valuable tools for understanding and documenting system
behavior, requirements, and interactions from various perspectives.
