Module 2: Create sequence and collaboration diagrams

Build a simple sequence diagram to illustrate the relationships between objects in your Use Cases. Buid a collaboration diagram to see more detail about how objects in a sequence diagram relate.

Use Cases gain a high-level business view of what happens in the system. Sequence diagrams, provide detail about the interactions of objects in the system. The Collaboration diagram offers a different view of the same information as the Sequence diagram. Collaboration and sequence diagrams are sometimes referred to as Interaction diagrams.
