Interactive Diagram
• An interaction diagram is a type of UML diagram that's used to
capture the interactive behavior of a system. Interaction diagrams
focus on describing the flow of messages within a system, providing
context for one or more lifelines within a system.
• Interaction diagrams can be used to represent the ordered sequences
within a system.
• This interactive behavior is represented in UML by two diagrams
known as Sequence diagram and Collaboration diagram.
Types of interaction diagrams in UML

Interaction diagrams are divided into four main types of diagrams:


• Communication diagram (collaboration diagram)
• Sequence diagram
• Timing diagram
• Interaction overview diagram
Sequence Diagram
Sequence Diagram
• A sequence diagram is a type of interaction diagram because it
describes how—and in what order—a group of objects works
together.
• Sequence diagrams are sometimes known as event diagrams or event
scenarios.
• It also emphasizes the time-ordering the massages.
Component of Sequence diagram
• Object: Represents a class or object in UML.
• Activation bar: Represents the time needed for an object to complete
a task. The longer the task will take, the longer the activation box
becomes.
• Actor Symbol: Shows entities that interact with or are external to the
system.
• Lifeline : Represents the passage of time as it extends downward.
Lifelines may begin with a labeled rectangle shape or an actor symbol.
Common message symbols
• Synchronous message symbol: Represented by a solid line with a
solid arrowhead. This symbol is used when a sender must wait for a
response to a message before it continues.
• Asynchronous message symbol: Represented by a solid line with a
lined arrowhead. Asynchronous messages don't require a response
before the sender continues.
• Reply message symbol : Represented by a dashed line with a lined
arrowhead, these messages are replies to calls.
Example of Sequence Diagram
Collaboration

Communication or Collaboration diagram

• A communication diagram is an extension of object diagram that


shows the objects along with the messages that travel from one to
another.
• A communication diagram offers the same information as a sequence
diagram, but while a sequence diagram emphasizes the time and
order of events, a communication diagram emphasizes the messages
exchanged between objects in an application.
• It emphasizes the structural organization of the object that send and
receive massages.
Symbols and notations of communication diagrams

The symbols and notations used in communication diagrams are the


same notation for sequence diagram.
• Rectangles represent objects that make up the application.
• Lines between class instances represent the relationships between
different parts of the application.
• Arrows represent the messages that are sent between objects.
• Numbering lets you know in what order the messages are sent and
how many messages are required to finish a process.
Example of Collaboration diagram
Similarities Between Sequence and
Collaboration Diagram
• Like the sequence diagram collaboration diagram also is an
isomorphic that means at a time you can take a massage and transfer
to another.
• Both are related to behavioural aspects of the system.
