Activity diagrams
Useful to specify software or hardware system
behavior.
Based on data flow models a graphical
representation of how data move around an
information system.

Activity Diagram


State Machine Diagram
They describe all of the possible states that
a particular object can get into and how the
object's state changes as a result of events
that reach the object.
In most OO techniques, state diagrams are
drawn for a single class to show the lifetime
behavior of a single object.
An Employee state in a company:
Employed, Fired, on Leave, Retired.

State Diagram
State Diagram
Illustrates the interesting events and
states of an object and the behavior of
an object in reaction to an event.
Event: significant or noteworthy
occurrence.
State: the condition of an object at a
moment in time (between events).
Transition: a relationship between two
states; when an event occurs, the object
moves from the current state to a related
state.
State Diagram
States shown as rounded rectangles.
Transitions shown as arrows.
Events shown as labels on transition
arrows.
