can be considered as an abstraction of a system (problem), that consists of objects interacting by sending messages

start learning
True
What is a view?
start learning
A view depicts selected aspects of a model in order to visualize and make them understandable

start learning
The essential characteristics (data) of the entities are captured as attributes (data fields), and the essential functionalities (operations, actions, behaviour) of those attributes are captured as methods.
What a re the 3 different types of models?
start learning
Functional, object, dynamic
What are the functional models?
start learning
use case diagrams (actors and use cases)
what are the object models?
start learning
class and instance diagrams, which comprise objects (attributes and functionality) and associations (relationships), used to describe the system structure;
what are the dynamic models?
start learning
represent a set of operations that describe system’s behaviour.
What is the purpose of a usecase diagram?
start learning
to represent functionality of a system during the elicitation and analysis stages (what rather then how)

start learning
Formalized description and notation of dynamic behaviour and collaboration of group of objects
interaction diagrams what are objects involved called?
start learning
participating objects
give 1 example of an interaction diagram
start learning
Sequence diagrams
what is a state chart diagram?
start learning
The dynamic of a system can be described with a number of states and the transitions between them
What is a state?
start learning
A state defines a particular set of attributes (data, characteristics) for an object.
