UML class diagrams show the classes of the system, their inter-relationships, and the operations and attributes of the classes. Class diagrams are typically used, although not all at once, to:

  • Explore domain concepts in the form of a domain model
  • Analyze requirements in the form of a conceptual/analysis model
  • Depict the detailed design of object-oriented or object-based software

A class model is comprised of one or more class diagrams and the supporting specifications that describe model elements including classes, relationships between classes, and interfaces. There are guidelines for:

  • General issues
  • Classes
  • Interfaces
  • Relationships
  • Inheritance
  • Aggregation and Composition
