UML Diagramming

A Case Study Approach

About this book

The Unified Modeling Language, better known as UML, has become the de facto standard modeling language for analyzing and designing software applications and systems. Software analysis and design is just as much an art as it is a science. UML Diagramming: A Catalog of Cases shows the art and the science behind successful software analysis and design with more than 35 case studies of applications of a variety of industries, including:

  • Transportation
  • Healthcare
  • Supply chain management
  • Education
  • Agriculture
  • Manufacturing

The book explains UML diagramming through case studies to help systems and software developers specify, visualize, construct, and document the artifacts of software systems. The cases demonstrate how UML embodies software engineering best practices for modeling large and complex systems. They show how UML is an intuitive diagramming language that can be easily understood by end-users and business professionals. These cases studies also demonstrate how UML is a powerful language for communicating software designs to help developers and end users validate application scope, requirements, and features. Case studies highlighted in the book included:

  • WEBMED healthcare service system services
  • Inventory management system
  • Business process outsourcing (BPO) management system
  • Weather monitoring system
  • Product recommendation system
  • Textile management system
  • Smart traffic management system
  • Online pharmacy management system
  • Placement automation system
  • Farm management system
  • Art gallery management system
  • Website development

This catalog of UML case studies is an invaluable reference for students studying software engineering, programmers starting out their careers, and seasoned systems developers needing a reference guide.

1.1 UP Phases

An approach that helps a user to build, deploy and maintain a software is termed as Software Development Process. Such a Software Development Process which is required to build an Object Oriented System is called as ‘Unified Process’. Craig Larman states Unified Process as ‘The Unified Process (UP) combines commonly accepted best practices, such as an iterative lifecycle and risk-driven development, into a cohesive and well-documented description/process’. There are four phases of the Unified Process, namely Inception, Elaboration, Construction and Transition. The inception phase takes a problem statement from a client as input. It traces answers for the below seven questions to generate a report to decide about the feasibility of developing the software (Figure 1.1).

Figure 1.1 Inception phase.
The elaboration phase takes the report generated by the inception phase as input to perform its processing. It involves three main activities like developing a core architecture for the given system, developing a project schedule and finally sketching a Unified Modeling Language (UML) Usecase diagram (Figure 1.2).

Figure 1.2 Elaboration phase.
The construction phase involves a set of three activities, namely, coding, testing and feedback. Notable point is that the construction phase involves Alpha testing, i.e. testing a software at the developer site (Figure 1.3).

Figure 1.3 Construction phase.
The transition phase involves Beta testing, i.e. testing a software at the client site without the support of developers, followed by deployment, and finally, fine tuning is done based on feedback from the client’s side (Figure 1.4).

Figure 1.4 Transition phase.

1.1.1 UML

It is a standard diagrammatic tool for designing. It is a graphical language for specifying, visualizing, constructing and documenting the artefacts of software systems. It helps in better understanding of the software or system or product to be developed among developers and customers. UML diagrams include major important diagrams like UML Usecase Diagram, UML Activity Diagram, UML Class Diagram, UML Sequence Diagram, UML Collaboration Diagram or UML Communication Diagram, UML State Machine Diagram, UML Component Diagram and UML Deployment Diagram (Figure 1.5 and Table 1.1).

S. No UML Diagram Purpose of the UML Diagram
1 UML Usecase Diagram It focuses on the identification of functional requirements of the system under consideration.
2 UML Activity Diagram It focuses on sequential and parallel activities involved in each functional requirement of the system.
3 UML Class Diagram It describes the structure of the system in terms of classes and objects.
4 UML Sequence Diagram It depicts the objects ...
