Dependency Specification

The dependency relationship indicates that the client class depends on the supplier class to provide certain services. One class can use another class in a variety of ways. Typically, a dependency relationship indicates that the operations of the client invoke operations of the supplier. Dependency relationships appear on component diagrams and they can also be used to connect use cases.

Note: A dependency that connects two use cases together contains a simpler form of the Dependency Specification in Figure 39. Only the name, class, stereotype, and documentation fields are present.
