There is a lot to say about when to use which diagram type when
developing a design, and what the role of it should be. The different
answers to this are referred to as the design process or design method.
This document is not intended to describe a concrete design process.
Poseidon for UML can be used for any such process. Instead, in this
chapter we will look at the various diagram types and how the
corresponding model elements are created or edited in Poseidon. For many
of these diagrams, a short example has already been given in the default
model
Stattauto
, which we looked at in Chapter
4.
Structural diagrams are used to show the organization of the system and include Class, Component, Deployment, and Object diagrams.
