In software engineering, a class diagram[1] in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system's classes, their attributes, operations (or methods), and the relationships among objects. The class diagram is the main building block of object-oriented modeling.
The creation of UML was originally motivated by the desire to standardize the disparate notational systems and approaches to software design. It was developed at Rational Software in 1994–1995, with further development led by them through 1996. [2] In 1997, UML was adopted as a standard by the Object Management Group (OMG) and has been ...
A sample UML class and sequence diagram for the State design pattern. [2] The state design pattern is one of twenty-three design patterns documented by the Gang of Four that describe how to solve recurring design problems. Such problems cover the design of flexible and reusable object-oriented software, such as objects that are easy to ...
Decorator UML class diagram. The decorator pattern can be used to extend (decorate) the functionality of a certain object statically, or in some cases at run-time, independently of other instances of the same class, provided some groundwork is done at design time. This is achieved by designing a new Decorator class that wraps the original class ...
Applications of UML. UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a modeling language used by software developers. [1] UML can be used to develop diagrams and provide users (programmers) with ready-to-use, expressive modeling examples. [note 1] Some UML tools generate program language code from UML. [2] UML can be used for modeling a system independent ...
Class diagram - a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system's classes, their attributes and the relationships between the classes. Classifier - a category of UML elements that have some common features, such as attributes or methods.
Composite pattern. In software engineering, the composite pattern is a partitioning design pattern. The composite pattern describes a group of objects that are treated the same way as a single instance of the same type of object. The intent of a composite is to "compose" objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies.
Umple. Umple is a language for both object-oriented programming and modelling with class diagrams and state diagrams. The name Umple is a portmanteau of "UML", "ample" and "Simple", [1] indicating that it is designed to provide ample features to extend programming languages with UML capabilities.
