- 1. 1 Big questions What is UML? Why should I bother? Do people really use UML? What is a UML class diagram? What kind of information goes into it? How do I create it? When should I create it?
- 2. 2 Design phase design: specifying the structure of how a software system will be written and function, without actually writing the complete implementation a transition from "what" the system must do, to "how" the system will do it What classes will we need to implement a system that meets our requirements? What fields and methods will each class have? How will the classes interact with each other?
- 3. 3 How do we design classes? class identification from project spec / requirements nouns are potential classes, objects, fields verbs are potential methods or responsibilities of a class CRC card exercises write down classes' names on index cards next to each class, list the following: responsibilities: problems to be solved; short verb phrases collaborators: other classes that are sent messages by this class (asymmetric) UML diagrams class diagrams (today) sequence diagrams ...
- 4. 4 Introduction to UML UML: pictures of an OO system programming languages are not abstract enough for OO design UML is an open standard; lots of companies use it What is legal UML? a descriptive language: rigid formal syntax (like programming) a prescriptive language: shaped by usage and convention it's okay to omit things from UML diagrams if they aren't needed by team/supervisor/instructor
- 5. 5 Uses for UML as a sketch: to communicate aspects of system forward design: doing UML before coding backward design: doing UML after coding as documentation often done on whiteboard or paper used to get rough selective ideas as a blueprint: a complete design to be implemented sometimes done with CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tools as a programming language: with the right tools, code can be auto-generated and executed from UML only good if this is faster than coding in a "real" language
- 6. 6 UML class diagrams What is a UML class diagram? What are some things that are not represented in a UML class diagram? details of how the classes interact with each other algorithmic details; how a particular behavior is implemented UML class diagram: a picture of the classes in an OO system, their fields and methods, and connections between the classes that interact or inherit from each other
- 7. 7 Diagram of one class class name in top of box write <<interface>> on top of interfaces' names use italics for an abstract class name attributes (optional) should include all fields of the object operations / methods (optional) may omit trivial (get/set) methods but don't omit any methods from an interface! should not include inherited methods
- 8. 8 Class attributes attributes (fields, instance variables) visibility name : type [count] = default_value visibility: + public # protected - private ~ package (default) / derived underline static attributes derived attribute: not stored, but can be computed from other attribute values attribute example: - balance : double = 0.00
- 9. 9 Class operations / methods operations / methods visibility name (parameters) : return_type visibility: + public # protected - private ~ package (default) underline static methods parameter types listed as (name: type) omit return_type on constructors and when return type is void method example: + distance(p1: Point, p2: Point): double
- 10. 10 Comments represented as a folded note, attached to the appropriate class/method/etc by a dashed line
- 11. 11 Relationships btwn. classes generalization: an inheritance relationship inheritance between classes interface implementation association: a usage relationship dependency aggregation composition
- 12. 12 Generalization relationships generalization (inheritance) relationships hierarchies drawn top-down with arrows pointing upward to parent line/arrow styles differ, based on whether parent is a(n): class: solid line, black arrow abstract class: solid line, white arrow interface: dashed line, white arrow we often don't draw trivial / obvious generalization relationships, such as drawing the Object class as a parent
- 13. 13 Associational relationships associational (usage) relationships 1. multiplicity (how many are used) * 0, 1, or more 1 1 exactly 2..4 between 2 and 4, inclusive 3..* 3 or more 2. name (what relationship the objects have) 3. navigability (direction)
- 14. 14 one-to-one each student must carry exactly one ID card one-to-many one rectangle list can contain many rectangles Multiplicity of associations
- 15. 15 Association types aggregation: "is part of" symbolized by a clear white diamond composition: "is entirely made of" stronger version of aggregation the parts live and die with the whole symbolized by a black diamond dependency: "uses temporarily" symbolized by dotted line often is an implementation detail, not an intrinsic part of that object's state 1 1 Car aggregation Engine Lottery Ticket Random dependency Page Book composition * 1

- 20. 20 Class design exercise Consider this Texas Hold 'em poker game system: 2 to 8 human or computer players Each player has a name and stack of chips Computer players have a difficulty setting: easy, medium, hard Summary of each hand: Dealer collects ante from appropriate players, shuffles the deck, and deals each player a hand of 2 cards from the deck. A betting round occurs, followed by dealing 3 shared cards from the deck. As shared cards are dealt, more betting rounds occur, where each player can fold, check, or raise. At the end of a round, if more than one player is remaining, players' hands are compared, and the best hand wins the pot of all chips bet so far. What classes are in this system? What are their responsibilities? Which classes collaborate? Draw a class diagram for this system. Include relationships between classes (generalization and associational).
