Applying the Activity
Diagram to the Case Study
Session Checklist
✔ Explaining the steps for building an Activity diagram
✔ Building an Activity diagram for the case study
The narrative for the Use Case tells you the rules and the logic required to accomplish
that goal. But text can be difficult to test, so you may want to draw the logic in an
Activity diagram.
Building an Activity Diagram for the Case Study
The problem statement for the Inventory Control system included the Use Case Receive
Product. You can use the text from the Use Case narrative (Table 15-1) as a guide while we
build the Activity diagram for the case study.
Tip
If you are struggling with this new notation, you might try drawing the
old-style flowchart first and then add the new concurrency features of the
Activity diagram as needed.
