The class diagram used to take apart the objects associated with the MPP and depict their relationships with each other.Everything is related to each other through the MPP class. It is an empty class but is there to show that the generalisation relationship exists between the Regional magnate and Head contribution Class and the MPP class. Most other relationships within this diagram are generalisation relationships depicted by the empty arrow head. This diagram is structured in a hierarchal format.A generalisation relationship allows the subclasses of any parent class to acquire the properties of the parent class. This feature is also show in the diagram by the empty boxes within the Secre tary, Staff Member, Accountant and HR Manager classes.

These relationships show an association relationship as the classes interact with each other on some level of their functionality.The individual classes are explained in detail within their respective CRC card.CRC CardsA tool used to document the purpose and capability of a class is the CRC card. CRC stand for Class-Responsibility-Collaboration, as will be discovered, is only what the cards depict along with several other features of the class.
