What are Synchronous Sequence Diagrams?
Synchronous sequence diagrams depict interactions where messages between objects are sent and received in a synchronized manner, where the sender waits for a response before continuing.
Characteristics of Synchronous Sequence Diagrams
- Objects wait for a response after sending a message before continuing their operations.
- Messages are typically represented with a solid arrow to indicate that they are synchronous.
- Lifelines are synchronized, meaning that the execution of messages is aligned vertically.
Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Sequence Diagrams
Asynchronous and Synchronous sequence diagrams are powerful tools in software design for visualizing the interactions between different components or objects in a system. Understanding the differences between these two types of diagrams is crucial for accurately modeling the behavior of systems that involve asynchronous or synchronous communication.
