Draft:Object Life Cycle Diagram




An Object life cycle diagram (OLCD) is a graphical representation that illustrates the various states an object undergoes during its existence and the transitions between those states. It is widely used in object-oriented analysis and design to model the dynamic behavior of objects in a system. By emphasizing state changes, OLCD helps capture how an object evolves in response to specific events, reflecting real world business processes or domain requirements. [1] [2]

This diagram can be expressed in different notation languages. For instance, Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides state diagrams to represent changes in object states Various software engineering methodologies, including the Methodology for Modeling and Analysis of Business Processes (MMABP), leverage OLCD to align the static definition of objects with dynamic process flows, thereby ensuring consistency across an entire system.[3][4][5][6]
