System Sequence Diagrams Tutorial

Use-Case for Monopoly game Monopoly game Use Case UC1: Play Monopoly Game Scope: Monopoly application Level: user goal Primary Actor: Person Stakeholders: Person: Wants to easily observe the output of the game simulation.

Use-Case for Monopoly game Main Success Scenario: 1. Person enters number of players and requests new game initialization. 2. Person starts play 3. System displays game trace i.e dice total, player, square for next player move 4. Repeat step three until a winner or Person cancels. The following would be part of the supplementary specication in a RUP project: Domain Specic Rules: The rules for the game are: Two to eight players can play. A game is played as a series of rounds on a board comprised by 40 squares. During a round, each player takes one turn.

Domain Model Remember the key idea of the Domain Model: A domain model is a representation of real-world conceptual classes, not of software artifacts. It is not a set of diagrams describing software classes with responsibilities. Considering this, a possible Domain model for the given example would contain: MonopolyGame Die Board Player Piece Square 5

Sequence Diagram On Sequence Diagrams: Time flow is organized from top to bottom. Focus of control is shown using an activation box which is optional, but commonly used. A return from a message may be shown as a dashed open-arrowed line. Many practitioners exclude them. Messages sent to self can be illustrated using a nested activation box. Conditional messages are shown in square-brackets. Can be converted to communication diagrams and vice versa.

System Sequence Diagram On System Sequence Diagrams: An SSD should be done for the main success scenario of the use case, and frequent or complex alternative scenarios. Properties of an SSD: The UML does not define something called a system sequence diagram. SSDs are part of the Use-Case Model (although not mentioned explicitly within the UP documentation) { a visualisation of the interactions implied in the use cases. Treat the system as a black-box. Show user interaction(s) with the system and the actions induced by these.

Public Library High level format: Name: search for book Actors: patron (Initiator), librarian Type: primary, essential Description: This use case beginning when patron come to librarian and ask him about certain book in library by give name of author,then librarian search in system and tell the patron about department and number of shelf that book founded there.

Expanded format: Name: search for book Actors: patron (Initiator), librarian Type: primary, essential Description: This use case beginning when patron come to librarian and ask him about certain book in library by give name of author,then librarian search in system and tell the patron about department and number of shelf that book founded there.

Typical course of event: Actor ActionSystem response 1- This use case beginning when the patron come to library and ask librarian about certain book 2-The librarian asks the patron about name of author book and enters it to the system. 3- The system display all books that written by this author and ask about name of book. 4-the librarian ask the patron about the name of book that written by this author and edition and enter the name to system. 5-The system display the book and position on the library with available number of edition. 6-The librarian ask system to print report About position of book in library. 7-system print the report with all Information about position of book 8-The librarian give the patron the report With information of position like: Department, number of shelf
