- Package diagram
In the
Unified Modeling Language , a package diagram depicts how a system is split up into logical groupings by showing the dependencies among these groupings. As a package is typically thought of as a directory, package diagrams provide a logical hierarchical decomposition of a system.Packages are usually organized to maximize internal coherence within each package and to minimize external coupling among packages. With these guidelines in place, the packages are good management elements. Each package can be assigned to an individual or team, and the dependencies among them indicate the required development order.The most common uses for package is to use them to organize Use-Case diagrams and class diagrams .
