AIM – Develop the activity diagram to represent flow from
one activity to another for software development.
TASK
1. Prepare Activity diagram for above selected system.
UML Activity Diagram
In UML, the activity diagram is used to demonstrate the flow of control within the system
rather than the implementation. It models the concurrent and sequential activities.
The activity diagram helps in envisioning the workflow from one activity to another. It put
emphasis on the condition of flow and the order in which it occurs. The flow can be
sequential, branched, or concurrent, and to deal with such kinds of flows, the activity
diagram has come up with a fork, join, etc.
Notation of an Activity Diagram
Activity diagram constitutes following notations:
Initial State: It depicts the initial stage or beginning of the set of actions.
Final State: It is the stage where all the control flows and object flows end.
Decision Box: It makes sure that the control flow or object flow will follow only one path.
Action Box: It represents the set of actions that are to be performed.
