ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 — Question 34 of 60

UML State Diagram components — identify elements of a UML 2.x state diagram.

A state diagram (also called state machine diagram) models the lifecycle of an object through its states and transitions.

  • State — a condition or situation of an object (e.g., Idle, Processing, Completed)
  • Transition — a directed arrow showing movement from one state to another, triggered by an event

Why not others:
- (a) Message and ActivityMessage belongs to sequence diagrams; Activity belongs to activity diagrams

- (b) Message and TransitionMessage is not a state diagram element

- (c) State and MessageMessage is not a state diagram element

Key rule: State diagram = States + Transitions. Messages → Sequence diagram. Activities → Activity diagram.
