Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)

Class diagrams are used to show the logical view of classes and their relationships in a system. They indicate the common roles and responsibilities of entities that provide system behavior. Essential elements include classes, their attributes, operations, and relationships. Classes are represented by icons containing their name, attributes, and operations. Relationships such as association, inheritance, aggregation, and dependency are represented by connecting lines with optional cardinality adornments. Class diagrams also include advanced concepts such as parameterized classes, metaclasses, class utilities, nesting, access control properties, physical containment, roles, keys, and constraints.

Class diagrams:

Used to show the existence of classes & their relationships in the logical view of a system.

Analysis-It is used to indicate the common roles & responsibilites of the entities that provide the systems behaviour. Design-To capture the structure of the classes that form the systems architecture.

Association -connects two classes & denotes a semantic connection. -denotes the nature of the relationship.

Cardinality adornment
-denotes the number of links between instance of source & target classes

Inheritance
Denotes generalization/specialization relationship. It may not have cardinality adornments.

Has
Denotes whole/part relationship (aggregation).

Using
Denotes client/supplier relationship.

Parameterized classes
It denotes a family of classes whose structure & behavior are defined independent of its formal class parameters. It may not have any instances & may not itself be used as a parameter. Instantiated class defines a new class distinct from all other concrete classes.

Metaclasses
It is the class of a class. It may not itself have any instances, but may inherit from, contain instances of, us, and otherwise associate with other classes.

Metaclasses

Class Utilities
It may denote one or more free subprograms. It may also name a class that only has class instance variables & operations. It may be parameterized & in turn instantiated.

Specification
It is a nongraphical form used to provide the complete definition of an entity in the notation. Common elements are Name: identifier Definition: text

Class specifications:

Each class in the model has exactly one class specification..


Responsibilities: text
Attributes:

list of attributes Operations: list of operations Constraints: list of constraints

Operation specifications: For each operation there is a member of a class, and all free subprograms, we define one operation specification.. Return class : reference to class Arguments : list of formal arguments
