 UML Sequence Diagrams
Used during requirements
analysis
TicketMachine To refine use case descriptions
Passenger
selectZone() to find additional objects
(participating objects)
Used during system design
insertCoins()
to refine subsystem interfaces
Classes are represented by
columns
pickupChange() Messages are represented by
arrows
Activations are represented by
pickUpTicket() narrow rectangles
Lifelines are represented by
dashed lines

The source of an arrow indicates the activation

which sent the message
An activation is as long as all nested activations
