Integrating Sequence Diagrams with the Rational Statemate Model

Integration of a sequence diagram with the Rational Statemate model consists of element name linkages. The sequence diagram contains no actual functionality of the model. When an sequence diagram template is generated from an activity chart, lifelines are automatically assigned the corresponding names in the activity chart.

The message elements are linked to the model by means of name resolution rules.

Other notations, such as time constraints, provide essential details of the requirements.
