• Exercise: Creating a use case diagram for a small software project

Classes and Objects

• What are objects?
• What are classes?
• How are objects and classes related?

Activity Diagram

• Modeling of program and data flows
• Overview of the elements of an activity diagram
• Nested actions
• Interaction overview diagram as an option for abstraction
• Practical tips: Efficient use of the activity diagram
• Exercise: Modeling the program flow in the activity diagram

State Chart

• Modeling state machines in the state chart
• Structure of the state chart
• Nested state charts
• History state
