-00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,320

-The last thing that I want to mention about class diagrams is

-

-2

-00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,830

-some creation tips. So something I know based on my experience and the

-

-3

-00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:09,300

-experience of others, I can recommend to do when creating a class

-

-4

-00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,780

-diagram. So the first tip is to understand the problem. So take the

-

-5

-00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,070

-time to look at the description of the system that you have

-

-6

-00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:18,500

-to build, to make sure that you understand the domain. That you understand

-

-7

-00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,230

-what you are supposed to build. Because that is going to save you

-

-8

-00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:25,550

-time later. It's going to help you identify from the beginning, a more relevant

-

-9

-00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:28,370

-set of entities in the description of the system. This

-

-10

-00:00:28,370 --> 00:00:30,730

-one might seem trivial but is very important to choose

-

-11

-00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:34,910

-good class names. Why? Because class names communicate the intent

-

-12

-00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:37,770

-of the class, and clarify what the class refers to. So

-

-13

-00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:40,510

-having a good class name allows you, makes it easier, to

-

-14

-00:00:40,510 --> 00:00:44,390

-create the mapping between the real-world object and the entities in

-

-15

-00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:46,610

-your model. And of course, it also makes it easier

-

-16

-00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:50,100

-to understand the system, after the system is built. Third tip,

-

-17

-00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,480

-concentrate on the what. So here, in the class diagram,

-

-18

-00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,390

-we're just representing the structure of the system. We're representing

-

-19

-00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:00,150

-what is in the system. What are the entities? What

-

-20

-00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:03,140

-are the characteristics of the entities? We are not focusing

-

-21

-00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:06,850

-at all, on how things are done. So, be careful.

-

-22

-00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:09,430

-Don’t think about the how, just think about the what.

-

-23

-00:01:09,430 --> 00:01:12,150

-Proceed in an itinerary way. So, start with a simple

-

-24

-00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:14,910

-diagram and refine it. There is no need to identify,

-

-25

-00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:17,650

-right away, all of the details of the system you need to

-

-26

-00:01:17,650 --> 00:01:21,570

-build. It is much easier to look at the description, identify an initial

-

-27

-00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:24,670

-rough class diagram and then refine it, because in this way, you'll

-

-28

-00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:27,650

-also gather more understanding of the system as you build it, and you'll

-

-29

-00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:30,670

-most likely end up with a better product at the end. And

-

-30

-00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:33,360

-if you proceed in this way, then make sure to refine until you

-

-31

-00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,920

-feel the class diagram is complete, until you feel that you represent

-

-32

-00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,960

-the system that you're supposed to build. So your final goal should be

-

-33

-00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,820

-to have a class diagram that is complete.

-

-34

-00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:43,870

-So it represents all of the relevant entities

-

-35

-00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,870

-in the system and their characteristics, and it's

-

-36

-00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:48,170

-correct so it represents them in the right way
