ACTIVITY DIAGRAM
Activity Diagram
 Activity diagram is UML behavior diagram which emphasis on the
sequence and conditions of the flow
 It shows a sequence of actions or flow of control in a system.
 It is like to a flowchart or a flow diagram.
 It is frequently used in business process modeling. They can also describe
the steps in a use case diagram.
 The modeled Activities are either sequential or concurrent.
Benefits
 It illustrates the logic of an algorithm.
 It describes the functions performed in use cases.
 Illustrate a business process or workflow between users and the system.
 It Simplifies and improves any process by descriptive complex use cases.
 Model software architecture elements, such as method, function, and
operation.
Symbols and Notations
Activity
 Is used to illustrate a set of actions.
 It shows the non-interruptible action of objects.
Symbols and Notations
Action Flow
 It is also called edges and paths
 It shows switching from one action state to another. It is represented as an
arrowed line.
Symbols and Notations
Decisions and Branching
 A diamond represents a decision with alternate paths.
 When an activity requires a decision prior to moving on to the next
activity, add a diamond between the two activities.
 The outgoing alternates should be labeled with a condition or guard
expression. You can also label one of the paths "else."
Symbols and Notations
Guards
 In UML, guards are a statement written next to a decision diamond that
must be true before moving next to the next activity.
 These are not essential, but are useful when a specific answer, such as
"Yes, three labels are printed," is needed before moving forward.
Symbols and Notations
Synchronization
 A fork node is used to split a single incoming flow into multiple
concurrent flows. It is represented as a straight, slightly thicker line in an
activity diagram.
 A join node joins multiple concurrent flows back into a single outgoing
flow.
 A fork and join mode used together are often referred to as
synchronization.
Symbols and Notations
Synchronization
Symbols and Notations
Time Event
 At a definite point of time this action or activity starts a flow.
Symbols and Notations
Merge Event
 A merge event brings together multiple flows that are not concurrent.

Final State or End Point


 An arrow pointing to a filled circle nested inside another circle represents
the final action state.
Symbols and Notations
Swimlane and Partition
 A way to group activities performed by the same actor on an activity
diagram or to group activities in a single thread
