A3 Platform had been discontinued.

Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML) is designed to help you focus on your modeling work. So it purposely doesn’t overwhelm you with any information unnecessary in an immediate sense. To help you project manage your software development life cycle (SDLC), Visual Paradigm offers another product called A³ Platform to do just that.

One of the nice things about A³ Platform is that it can actually talk to VP-UML to get software design requirements and feed them to A³ Platform for setting project milestones automatically.

To pass a message between two sequence diagrams in UML modeling, we can make use of gates. Through modeling gates, we could relate the message outside an interaction fragment with message inside another interaction fragment.

Graphically a gate, with an arrowed line, connects to the sequence diagram’s frame edge with one end and the other end connected to a lifeline.

In this tutorial we will show you how to model gates in sequence diagrams using Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML).
