Uses of UML Sequence Diagram Loops

Initially, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams were used as a general-purpose modeling language in the field of software engineering. In time, its usage has extended to:

  • Improving integration between structural models (e.g. class diagrams) and behavioral models (e.g. activity diagrams).
  • Defining a hierarchy and breaking down a software system into components and sub-components.

The UML Sequence Diagram Loop visualizes the interactions and the order in which they must occur to trigger a specific event.

Break down your project into steps.

2

Using shapes, define each of the steps and actors involved in the process.

3

Use arrows to define interactions and conditionality.

4

Use the arrows to define the connections.
