Diagram Diagram Sequence Communication Diagram Diagram 6 / 17 Object Diagram Sequence Diagram Interaction Diagrams Communication Diagram Purpose of Sequence Diagram Static diagram Use case diagrams show the static relationship between actors and use cases Class diagrams show the static relationship between classes or instances A program is a sequence of interactions among objects (i.e., instances of classes) Difficult of find a program only with static diagrams Purpose of sequence diagram Model the high-level interaction between active objects in a system Model the high-level interaction between subsystems 7 / 17 Object Diagram Sequence Diagram Interaction Diagrams Communication Diagram Sequence Diagram Example sd Create new agreement :RecordAgreement :RecordAgreement
