Question

In any diagram be a uml or any software engineering model diagram whats the difference in using a rounded rectangle and a rectangle.? ----Thanks in advance

Answer 1

For UML specifically, rectangles are generally used for structural concepts: classes, objects, packages. Rounded rectangles are used for behavioural concepts: states, activities.

There's no "universal" software engineering convention I'm aware of.
