In Chapter 3, I provided an overview of the UML diagrams. I distinguished their use around three general headings: structural diagrams, behavioral diagrams, and model management diagrams. The structural diagrams (class, object, component, and so forth) represent how the objects are defined and how they are related to one another. They do not represent how the objects behave when you put them to work. In contrast, the behavioral diagrams represent how the objects work using the structure already defined in the other diagrams. This dynamic view contains diagrams specifically designed to model how the objects communicate in order to accomplish tasks within the operation of the system. They can represent how the system responds to actions from the users, how it maintains ...
