Note on Progression Given the fact that the Question changes substantially (in clarifying the requirement, not is scope) in response to my Response and TRD, this is going to take some back-and-forth. Let’s identify Steps: your Step numbers are odd, starting from 1; mine, in response, are even. Parts of previous Response Steps have become … Read more
Create the following source file example.cpp: class Animal { public: void die(); string name; int age; }; class Dog : public Animal { public: void bark(); }; class Cat : public Animal { public: void meow(); }; run doxygen -g and change the following options of the generated Doxyfile: EXTRACT_ALL = YES HAVE_DOT = YES … Read more
There are four kinds of Class relationships Association: uses a Ex:a Class Man uses a Class Pen ( Pen is still there when man die ) Aggregation: has a Ex:a Class Man has a Class Car ( Car is still there when Man die ) Composition: owns a Ex:a Class Man owns a Class Heart … Read more
Robustness diagrams are written after use cases and before class diagrams. They help to identify the roles of use case steps. You can use them to ensure your use cases are sufficiently robust to represent usage requirements for the system you’re building. They involve: Actors Use Cases Entities Boundaries Controls Whereas the Model-View-Controller pattern is … Read more
JHotDraw was designed as “a Java GUI framework for technical and structured Graphics.” The linked JHotDraw Pattern Language: JHotDraw Domain Overview illustrates how to customize drawing editors. The sample org.jhotdraw.samples.draw.Main is a reasonable starting point, and JModeller is a simple UML editor built using the framework.
Preliminary remark: First I’d like to than Bruno and Axel for their respective answers, that put me on the right track. Nevertheless digging further based on their indications, I stumble accross an even simpler solution and supporting references. As it’s useful and following Bruno’s suggestion I’ve finally decided to post it as ananswer. Can simple … Read more
The other day, I discovered a tool from the University of Victoria called Diver: Dynamic Interactive Views For Reverse Engineering. You can either find a method and create a static sequence diagram starting with that method or you can run an application in a trace mode to capture the sequence diagram for a particular execution … Read more
You can use a qualified association: ┌──────────┐ 1 ┌───────┐ │ MyServer │Key│───────────│ Value │ └──────────┘ └───────┘ See: http://etutorials.org/Programming/UML/Chapter+6.+Class+Diagrams+Advanced+Concepts/Qualified+Associations/ (cause it is hard to draw using ASCII) Note also that a qualified association changes the multiplicity: ┌──────────┐ 0..* ┌───────┐ │ MyServer │───────────────│ Value │ └──────────┘ └───────┘ ┌──────────┐ 1 ┌───────┐ │ MyServer │Key│───────────│ Value │ └──────────┘ └───────┘ … Read more
A domain model is called conceptual model in database modeling, while a design model is called logical model. These distinctions are also used in model-driven development, where we have a succession of three types of models: (solution-independent) domain models resulting from domain/requirements engineering in the system analysis, or inception, phase of a development project; (platform-independent) … Read more
There is no UML element for representing independent functions. You may however consider a free standing function as a special form of object in its own class. In fact, in some designs, “functor” objects are even designed to be used in place of a functions. To avoid possible confusion, you may extend the class diagram … Read more
