UML - what is a Class diagram

• A class diagram describes the OO class construct and it’s relationship(s) to other classes 
• Symbols includes: Class and Association(s) 

Gotcha

Often Class diagrams are inappropriately crammed with lots of detail for each Class and omit useful description of Class relationships

Tip

Leave the detail of attributes and methods to the implementation unless absolutely necessary, always describe relationships unless implied by the association
