Collaboration Diagram
 Sequence Diagram
• A sequence diagram shows object interactions
arranged in time sequence.
• It depicts the objects and classes involved in
the scenario and the sequence of messages
exchanged between the objects needed to
carry out the functionality of the scenario.
Sequence Diagram Example

 Difference between Sequence &
Collaboration Diagram
• The difference between sequence diagrams
and collaboration diagrams.
•  Sequence diagrams shows object interaction
in timely manner(so no need of numbering
the messages).
• But collaboration diagram doesn't show
object interaction in timely manner. (need to
numbering the messages).
