4. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 3 of 12 Concept of System Sequence Diagram (SSD) Part of system design. Communicates to OO programmers. SSD shows interaction between actors and system (global SSD), and among objects (detailed SSD) SSD specifies flow of data (messages) Messages are actions (resemble commands) invoked on destination object

6. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 5 of 12 Global SSD – loops Figure 6-15 True/False Condition Input Expected output Loop Note: extendedPrice = price * quantity

7. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 6 of 12 Creating global SSD 1. Start with an activity diagram and/or use case description. 2. Identify the input messages from actor to system. For figuring attributes (input parameters), use class diagram. 3. Identify/apply special conditions (iteration) to input messages, if any. 4. Identify output messages.

9. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 8 of 12 Detailed SSD Uses the same elements as an SSD Has extra elements: The :System object is replaced by objects and messages within computer system Objects are differentiated (e.g., control handler, domain, user interface) Object activation period indicated

11. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 10 of 12 Reading detailed SSD (first cut) The system object is broken down to specific objects. Inputs & outputs among objects are specified. Class diagram essential (follow associations).

12. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 11 of 12 Adding user interface and database to SSD Add user interface and database objects to domain objects. Example function: Create new student. Additional objects Figure 8-1 3. Store database object (record) 4. Update Student record 5. Update Student object 6. Store update

13. 3510 Systems Analysis & Design * Bob Travica 12 of 12 Detailed SSD (final) - reading Reading: Specific catalog and inventory objects are initialized by user’s input, and it will get data from the corresponding database objects.
