3. L3-6b-S3 Sequence Diagrams © M.E. Fayad 2000-2005 SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad Lesson Objectives 3 Understand how to generate sequence diagrams Learn the syntax of sequence diagram Explore examples of sequence diagrams

4. L3-6b-S4 Sequence Diagrams © M.E. Fayad 2000-2005 SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad Place objects that participate in the interaction at the top of the diagram, across the X-axis –Place the object that initiates the interaction at the left, and increasingly more subordinate objects to the right Place messages the objects send and receive along the Y-axis, in order of increasing time from top to bottom 4 Drawing Sequence Diagrams

5. L3-6b-S5 Sequence Diagrams © M.E. Fayad 2000-2005 SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad Use sequence diagrams to model flows of control by time ordering –Do a better job of visualizing simple iteration and branching Use collaboration diagrams to model flows of control by organization –Do a better job of visualizing complex iteration and branching and of visualizing multiple concurrent flows of control 5 Common Uses

6. L3-6b-S6 Sequence Diagrams © M.E. Fayad 2000-2005 SJSU – CmpE --- M.E. Fayad Sequence diagrams have two features: –Object lifeline Vertical dashed line that represents the existence of an object over a period of time –Focus of control A tall, thin rectangle that shows the period of time during which an object is performing an action, either directly or through a subordinate procedure 6 Sequence Diagrams
