How to create a UML Diagram. The Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park helps you to create all types of the UML 2.x and 1.x diagrams quick and easy using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software.
In my previous article on, I shifted focus away from the UML 1.4 spec to OMG's Adopted 2.0 Draft Specification of UML (a.k.a. In this article, I will discuss Structure Diagrams, which is a new diagram category that has been introduced in UML 2. Because the purpose of this series is to educate people about the notation elements and their meanings, this article focuses mainly on the class diagram.
The reason for this will soon become clear. Subsequent articles will cover other diagrams included in the structure category. Try IBM Cloud for free Build your next app quickly and easily with.

I also want to remind readers that this series is about UML notation elements, and that these articles are not meant to provide guidance on the best approach for modeling, or how to determine what things should be modeled in the first place. Instead, the purpose of this article and of the series in general is to help with a basic understanding of notation elements — their syntax and their meanings. With this knowledge you should be able to read diagrams and create your own diagrams using the proper notation elements. This article assumes you have a rudimentary understanding of object-oriented design.

In UML 2 there are two basic categories of diagrams: structure diagrams and behavior diagrams. Every UML diagram belongs to one these two diagram categories.
The purpose of structure diagrams is to show the static structure of the system being modeled. They include the class, component, and or object diagrams. Behavioral diagrams, on the other hand, show the dynamic behavior between the objects in the system, including things like their methods, collaborations, and activities. Example behavior diagrams are activity, use case, and sequence diagrams. Structure diagrams in general.
Resources we think you'll like • • • • • • As I have said, structure diagrams show the static structure of the system being modeled. Focusing on the elements of a system, irrespective of time.
Static structure is conveyed by showing the types and their instances in the system. Besides showing system types and their instances, structure diagrams also show at least some of the relationships among and between these elements and potentially even show their internal structure.
Structure diagrams are useful throughout the software lifecycle for a variety of team members. In general, these diagrams allow for design validation and design communication between individuals and teams. For example, business analysts can use class or object diagrams to model a business's current assets and resources, such as account ledgers, products, or geographic hierarchy. Architects can use the component and deployment diagrams to test/verify that their design is sound. Developers can use class diagrams to design and document the system's coded (or soon-to-be-coded) classes. The class diagram in particular UML 2 considers structure diagrams as a classification; there is no diagram itself called a 'Structure Diagram.'
However, the class diagram offers a prime example of the structure diagram type, and provides us with an initial set of notation elements that all other structure diagrams use. And because the class diagram is so foundational, the remainder of this article will focus on the class diagram's notation set. By the end of this article you should have an understanding of how to draw a UML 2 class diagram and have a solid footing for understanding other structure diagrams when we cover them in later articles. The basics As mentioned earlier, the purpose of the class diagram is to show the types being modeled within the system.
In most UML models these types include: • a class • an interface • a data type • a component. UML uses a special name for these types: 'classifiers.' Generally, you can think of a classifier as a class, but technically a classifier is a more general term that refers to the other three types above as well. Class name The UML representation of a class is a rectangle containing three compartments stacked vertically, as shown in Figure 1. The top compartment shows the class's name. The middle compartment lists the class's attributes.
The bottom compartment lists the class's operations. When drawing a class element on a class diagram, you must use the top compartment, and the bottom two compartments are optional. (The bottom two would be unnecessary on a diagram depicting a higher level of detail in which the purpose is to show only the relationship between the classifiers.) Figure 1 shows an airline flight modeled as a UML class. As we can see, the name is Flight, and in the middle compartment we see that the Flight class has three attributes: flightNumber, departureTime, and flightDuration. In the bottom compartment we see that the Flight class has two operations: delayFlight and getArrivalTime. Figure 1: Class diagram for the class Flight. Class attribute list The attribute section of a class (the middle compartment) lists each of the class's attributes on a separate line.
The attribute section is optional, but when used it contains each attribute of the class displayed in a list format. The line uses the following format: name: attribute type flightNumber: Integer Continuing with our Flight class example, we can describe the class's attributes with the attribute type information, as shown in Table 1. Table 1: The Flight class's attribute names with their associated types Attribute Name Attribute Type flightNumber Integer departureTime Date flightDuration Minutes In business class diagrams, the attribute types usually correspond to units that make sense to the likely readers of the diagram (i.e., minutes, dollars, etc.). However, a class diagram that will be used to generate code needs classes whose attribute types are limited to the types provided by the programming language, or types included in the model that will also be implemented in the system.
Sometimes it is useful to show on a class diagram that a particular attribute has a default value. (For example, in a banking account application a new bank account would start off with a zero balance.) The UML specification allows for the identification of default values in the attribute list section by using the following notation: name: attribute type = default value For example: balance: Dollars = 0 Showing a default value for attributes is optional; Figure 2 shows a Bank Account class with an attribute called balance, which has a default value of 0. Figure 2: A Bank Account class diagram showing the balance attribute's value defaulted to zero dollars Class operations list The class's operations are documented in the third (lowest) compartment of the class diagram's rectangle, which again is optional. Like the attributes, the operations of a class are displayed in a list format, with each operation on its own line. Operations are documented using the following notation: name(parameter list): type of value returned The Flight class's operations are mapped in Table 2 below.
Table 2: Flight class's operations mapped from Figure 3 Operation Name Parameters Return Value Type delayFlight Name Type numberOfMinutes Minutes N/A getArrivalTime N/A Date Figure 3 shows that the delayFlight operation has one input parameter — numberOfMinutes — of the type Minutes. However, the delayFlight operation does not have a return value.
[Note: The delayFlight does not have a return value because I made a design decision not to have one. One could argue that the delay operation should return the new arrival time, and if this were the case, the operation signature would appear as delayFlight(numberOfMinutes: Minutes): Date.] When an operation has parameters, they are put inside the operation's parentheses; each parameter uses the format 'parameter name: parameter type'. Figure 3: The Flight class operations parameters include the optional 'in' marking When documenting an operation's parameters, you may use an optional indicator to show whether or not the parameter is input to, or output from, the operation.
This optional indicator appears as an 'in' or 'out' as shown in the operations compartment in Figure 3. Typically, these indicators are unnecessary unless an older programming language such as Fortran will be used, in which case this information can be helpful. However, in C++ and Java, all parameters are 'in' parameters and since 'in' is the parameter's default type according to the UML specification, most people will leave out the input/output indicators. Inheritance A very important concept in object-oriented design, inheritance, refers to the ability of one class (child class) to inherit the identical functionality of another class (super class), and then add new functionality of its own. (In a very non-technical sense, imagine that I inherited my mother's general musical abilities, but in my family I'm the only one who plays electric guitar.) To model inheritance on a class diagram, a solid line is drawn from the child class (the class inheriting the behavior) with a closed, unfilled arrowhead (or triangle) pointing to the super class.
