7. Activity Diagram
The Activity Diagram is the closest to a flow chart, and the closest to a business process diagram.
7.1 A description of activity diagram elements
- Initial state is where the diagram begins.
- Control flow shows a transfer of control from one activity to another.
- A state is one of the possible conditions in which an object may exist.
- An activity is some behaviour that an object carries out while it is in a particular state.
- Swin lane shows all of the activities carried out by a particular person or team arranged into a column.
- Object in state shows an object that is produced or consumed in the course of an activity, with the production or consumption being represented by the dashed line.
- Entry actions shows what must happen when the activity begins.
- Stop state is where the diagram ends.
8. Statechart Diagram
Statechart diagrams provide a way to model the various states in which an object can exist. Statechart diagrams focus on the state transition from one state to another.
9. Component Diagram
A Component diagram displays the components in the system and the dependencies between them.
The only type of relationship that exist between components is a component dependency.
For a .NET application the components will be executables(.EXE) and libraries(.DLL) corresponding to the solution structure within Visual Studio .NET.
10. Deployment Diagram
A Deployment diagram shows all of the physical nodes on the network, the connections between them and the processes that will run on each other.
OK. That's all.
