What is the general/typical order of usage of UML diagrams during development?

I want to know the order of UML diagrams. I need to know when I开发者_JAVA百科 develop new software which UML diagram to use first and which second (and so on) thanks.

This is not defined in the UML standard. UML is a notation not a software development method. You need to choose first a development method that uses the UML notation and then the method will tell you in what order you should define the different UML diagrams.

At this point, it looks like you really should start at the basics of what UML diagrams do before you start into how to use them. Otherwise, you are going to find that you are in a mess. Here is a good starting point: http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/umlDiagrams.htm

I would say if you are a beginner then start with a usecase diagram to capture requirements then create class diagrams in order show the static architecture. You don't really need other diagrams.
