Modeling interactions between partitions
Modeling interactions between partitions in a system is essential for understanding how different subsystems or components collaborate to achieve the system’s overall functionality. It helps design, visualize, and document the flow of information and control between other parts of the system.
Here’s how you can model interactions between partitions:
- System decomposition: Start by identifying and defining the partitions or subsystems in your system. Each partition represents a distinct functional unit, and it may have its own set of responsibilities and capabilities.
- Use case diagrams: Create use case diagrams to depict the interactions between the partitions and external actors. Use cases represent specific interactions or functionalities that partitions provide. Actors can be users, other systems, or external entities interacting with the system.
- Sequence diagrams: Use sequence diagrams to illustrate the chronological...
