Class Diagram

The Class diagram captures the logical structure of the system - the Classes - and things that make up the model. It is a static model, describing what exists and what attributes and behavior it has, rather than how something is done. On a Class diagram you can Illustrate relationships between Classes and Interfaces using Generalizations, Aggregations and Associations, which are valuable in reflecting inheritance, composition or usage, and connections respectively.
