  1. Go to Toolbox -> Sequence -> Stimulus.
  2. Drag from one object to another to create the stimulus line
  3. On the side you should see the Properties for the call
  4. In Name put the method name, i.e. saveResult
  5. In the Detail section you can specify arguments. Put the arguments there, i.e. int value
  6. If the arguments don't appear then change the properties of the Sequence Diagram. Change MessageSignature to NAMEANDTYPE
