L3-5d-S17 Class Diagrams © M.E. Fayad SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad A well-structured class diagram –is focused on communicating one aspect of a system’s static design view –contains only elements that are essential to understanding that aspect –provides detail consistent with its level of abstraction –is not so minimalist that it misinforms the reader about important semantics 17 Guidelines

L3-5d-S18 Class Diagrams © M.E. Fayad SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad T/F 1. Multiplicity defines how many instances of one class can be associated with the instance of the other class. 2. Bi-directional - The fact that associations are read in both directions 3. For one to one there are three possibilities: A B A B A B 4. Multiplicity is the number of associations of instances of each class. 5. Class diagrams model the dynamic design view of a system. 18 Discussion Questions
