List of concepts
Here is an initial list of concepts. `Initial` means that the concept should be available from scratch, `Basics` means that those concepts are taught to beginners, but most of the time in a second step. `Advanced` will be those almost never taught but usefull.
Class Diagram
The `Class Diagram` is often the first one (easy to make exercices).
Initial
- Class - Association - Property - Operation - Comments - Multiplicity
Basics
- Generalization/Specialization - Order of reading - AggregationKind - AssociationClass - DataType - Dependency - Navigability - Ownership - Enumeration - Interface - MultiplicityElement - Operation - Package - VisibilityKind
Use Case Diagram
The `Use Case Diagram` is the next one (if not first sometimes), because easy and classical.
Initials
- Actor - UseCase
Basics
- Extend - Include
Sequence Diagram
The `Sequence Diagram` is most of the time used as the first dynamic model. Each use case is supposed to be described by at least one DS. At first, we do "System Seq. Diag." where there are only actors plus a fake "system" participant, to represent interactions at high level.
Initials
- Participant - Message - Response
Basics
- CombinedFragments (opt,alt,par,ref) - Synchronous/Asynchronous messages
StateMachines
The `State Machine Diagram` is very often taught because you can use it for other teaching classes (networks, system, etc.).
Initials
- State - Initial/FinalState - Transition (event,gard,action)
Basics
- StateMachine - Region
Activities
I don't teach `Activity Diagrams`, as some don't teach sequence diagram instead. But when I do, I only teach very basic notions.
Initial
- Action - InitialNode - ActivityFinal - ControlFlow
