In Class Diagram, what is the difference between Boundary, Entity, and Control Classes?

Question

I started to specify a project in UML and in the tool I am using has Boundary Classes, Entity Classes and Control Classes to make the Class Diagrams and Sequence Diagrams, what is the difference between these types of classes when making the specification?

Answer 1

Entity Class: Models objects that behavior and information should be stored.

Border Class (or Interface): Models the interaction between the system and its operations.

Control Class: Models specific control behavior for one or more use cases.
