Q) Draw relevant State Chart and Activity Diagrams for the same system

State Diagram: Theory

Definition :

A State Diagram (also called a State Chart) is a type of UML behavioral diagram that shows the states an object
goes through in response to events, along with the transitions that cause the state to change.

Purpose:

It models the lifecycle of an object and is useful for systems where objects undergo different conditions or stages,
such as a Shipment in a Logistic Tracking System.

Components:

• States: Represent a condition or situation (e.g., Created, InTransit, Delivered).


• Transitions: Arrows that represent the movement from one state to another (e.g., assignDriver()).

• Events/Triggers: Actions that cause the transition.

• Initial State: Represented by a filled black circle.

• Final State: Represented by a bullseye symbol.

Activity Diagram: Theory

Definition:
An Activity Diagram is a UML diagram that represents the workflow or activities involved in a system or
process. It is similar to a flowchart and shows the sequence of steps in a process.
Purpose:
It visualizes the flow of control from one activity to another and helps understand how various components
interact in achieving a goal or task—like fulfilling an order in a logistics system.
Components:

• Start Node: Black filled circle.

• Activities: Rectangles with rounded corners (e.g., Place Order, Assign Driver).

• Decision Nodes: Diamonds used to show branching (e.g., Stock Available?).

• Arrows: Represent control flow from one activity to the next.

• End Node: A filled circle with an outer ring.

EXPERIMENT-9

Q.) Improve the reusability and maintainability of the software system by applying appropriate design
patterns.

1. Factory Pattern – For Object Creation

Problem:
Object creation code (e.g., Customer, Driver, Manager, Shipment) is scattered across the system.

Solution:
Use a Factory class to create instances dynamically without repeating constructor calls.

Benefit:
Easier to manage object creation, especially when adding new types (like a new "Logistic Officer" or "Warehouse
Supervisor") in the future.

Code :

public class EntityFactory {

public static Customer createCustomer(int id, String name, String phone, String address) {
return new Customer(id, name, phone, address);

public static Driver createDriver(int id, String name, String phone) {

return new Driver(id, name, phone);

public static Manager createManager(int id, String name, String phone) {


return new Manager(id, name, phone);

public static Shipment createShipment(int id, String origin, String destination) {

return new Shipment(id, origin, destination);


}

// Similarly for Vehicle, Invoice, Payment, etc.


}

2. Observer Pattern – For Notification System

Problem:
Currently, Manager must manually notify Drivers or Customers (e.g., assignment, delay updates).

Solution:
Use the Observer pattern: Drivers and Customers subscribe to Manager's updates.

Benefit:
When the Manager informs, all subscribed observers automatically get updates without hardcoding calls.

Implementation

import [Link];

import [Link];

// Observer Interface
interface Observer {

void update(String message);

// Concrete Observers

class Driver implements Observer {

private String name;

public Driver(String name) {

[Link] = name;

@Override

public void update(String message) {

[Link]("Driver " + name + " received notification: " + message);


}

}
class Customer implements Observer {

private String name;

public Customer(String name) {

[Link] = name;

@Override

public void update(String message) {

[Link]("Customer " + name + " received notification: " + message);

}
}

// Subject (Manager)

class Manager {

private List<Observer> observers = new ArrayList<>();

public void addObserver(Observer observer) {


[Link](observer);

public void notifyObservers(String message) {

for (Observer observer : observers) {

[Link](message);

}
}
}
3. Strategy Pattern – For Delivery Behavior

Problem:
Currently, Driver delivers shipments in a fixed way.
In reality, we may have different delivery strategies like:

• Normal Delivery

• Express Delivery

• Emergency Delivery

Solution:
Use a Strategy interface for DeliveryBehavior, and inject different implementations.

Benefit:
Driver's delivery method becomes flexible and changeable at runtime without modifying Driver class.

Implementation

// Strategy Interface

interface DeliveryStrategy {

void deliverShipment(Shipment shipment);


}

// Concrete Strategies

class NormalDelivery implements DeliveryStrategy {

@Override

public void deliverShipment(Shipment shipment) {

[Link]("Shipment " + [Link]() + " delivered normally.");


}
}

class ExpressDelivery implements DeliveryStrategy {

@Override

public void deliverShipment(Shipment shipment) {


[Link]("Shipment " + [Link]() + " delivered via Express Delivery!");

}
}
// Shipment Class

class Shipment {

private int shipmentId;
