An artifact represents a physical entity and is depicted in a diagram as a rectangle with the <<artifact>> stereotype. An artifact may have properties, which define its features, and operations, which can be performed on its instances. Physically, the artifacts can be model files, source files, scripts, binary executable files, a table in a database system, a development deliverable, a word-processing document, or a mail message. A deployed artifact is one that has been deployed to a node used as a deployment target. Deployed artifacts are connected with the target node by deployment links.
Artifacts can include operations.
You can create complex artifacts by nesting artifact icons.
