Working with Activity Diagrams 活动图 1 2 3 4 Activity and Action Control Flow Object Flow Interaction Overview Contents Activity Diagram An activity diagram shows the flow from activity to activity. activity diagram is much like the flowcharts of old. It shows steps (called, appropriately enough, activities) as well as decision points and branches. Its useful for showing what happens in a business process or an operation. Youll find it an integral part of system analysis. Activity Diagram An activity is an ongoing nonatomic execution within a state machine. The execution of an activity ultimately expands into the execution of individual actions, each of which may change the state of the system or communicate messages. Actions encompass calling another operation, sending a signal, creating or destroying an object, or some pure computation such as evaluating an expression. Basic Elements An activity diagram is designed to be a simplified look at what happens during an operation or a process. Each activity is represented by a roun
