Beginner's Sequence Diagram - Please Critique 

Hi, I'm new to sequence diagrams and was wondering if the following diagram accurately represented the process that follows?  I am using Visio 2003 default UML Sequence stencil (which seems quite limited!!!).  Thanks!

 

 

1)  User submits “POST” request to server.

2)  A method checks the session time.

3)  If the session was last set less than 20 minutes prior, then set the session to the new session time and fulfill the request.

4)  If the session was last set greater than or equal to 20 minutes prior, then expire the session and deliver an error page.

As a start could you please clarify if this represents one or multiple flows of a single use case.

Hi, vneytcheva.  If I'm understanding you correctly, the diagram represents only one very high-level use case:  "Request server content".  I was actually trying to see if the notation was correct, particularly for the conditions.  Visio 2003 seems to have a very limited Sequence Diagram stencil, so all I could do was include a contraint to indicate a condition.

Thanks for the response.

As Business Analysts in Agile teams, we often hear about Definition of Ready (DOR) and Definition of Done (DOD). But beyond the buzzwords, these two concepts are powerful tools to drive clarity, consistency, and quality in our work. Definition of Ready ensures a user story is truly ready for development. It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
