Sequence Diagram Template

A Sequence Diagram Template depicts the order of events and interactions in a process or software system. In this template example, the sequence diagram illustrates the messages received by a class and the resulting conditions.

Uses of Sequence Diagram Templates

In Unified Modeling Language (UML), sequence diagrams show the sequential order of interactions between objects in a system. They go hand in hand with other UML diagrams and are specifically used to outline how the system should function for a single use case.

Sequence diagrams are a type of UML behavioral diagram (or interaction diagram) because they visualize how system components work together to carry out a process. They’re primarily used in software development and business applications to:

Design and plan software and web applications

Model the functionality of system operations

Provide context for UML use case diagrams

Document and evaluate system requirements

The Sequence Diagram Template and many other UML diagrams are available to use in Cacoo. Sign up today!

How to create your own Sequence Diagram

To make your own UML diagram, you’ll need to know the details of the use case. Open the Sequence Diagram Template in Cacoo.

1

Label the objects/classes to identify the components involved in the sequence.

2

Drag any additional shapes you need into the diagram , and position them correctly to represent the sequence.

3

Use arrows to map the flow of interactions or events.

4

Finally, label the arrows where necessary to describe what event is occurring.

Once you’re done, it’s always a good idea to share your sequence diagram with other collaborators to ensure the system logic makes sense. Creating accurate, well-defined diagrams will make every stage of development much easier!
