UML Class Diagrams

UML is a standard way to visualize the design of your system and class diagrams are used across the industry.

They consist of:

  1. Class: Acts as the blueprint that defines the properties and behavior of an object.

  2. Attributes:Attributes in a UML class diagram represent the data fields of the class.

  3. Methods: Methods in a UML class diagram represent the behavior that a class can perform.

  4. Interfaces: Defines a contract for classes that implement it. Includes a set of methods that the implementing classes must p.vide.

  5. Enumeration: A special data type that defines a set of named values such as product category or months in a year.

  6. Relationships: Determines how one class is related to another. Some common relationships are as follows:

  • Association

  • Aggregation

  • Composition
