Interaction modeling

Introduction

Current state:

Interaction modeling is the phase in which you build the threads that weave your objects together and enable you to see how they will perform useful behavior. One of the primary tools of this task is creating sequence diagrams.

Objectives

Upon completion of this section, students will be able to:

Goals of Interaction Modeling

Sequence Diagrams

Four Sequence Diagram Elements

Getting Started
