Deparment of Computer Science and Engineering

Use case diagrams are vital in software engineering for capturing functional requirements and illustrating user-system interactions. They consist of actors, use cases, and relationships, helping stakeholders understand system functionality from a user's perspective. Proper identification of actors and use cases, along with avoiding common mistakes, enhances communication and ensures the final product meets user expectations.

Usecase Diagram In Software Engineering
Introduction to Use Case Diagrams

• Use case diagrams are essential tools in software engineering for


capturing functional requirements.

• They visually represent the interactions between users and the system to
fulfill specific goals.

• These diagrams help stakeholders understand the system's functionality


from a user's perspective.
Key Components of Use Case Diagrams

• The main elements of use case diagrams include actors, use cases, and
relationships.

• Actors represent users or other systems that interact with the system
being designed.

• Use cases describe specific functionalities or services provided by the


system to the actors.
Understanding Actors

• Actors are typically categorized into primary and secondary roles in the
software environment.

• Primary actors initiate interactions to achieve a goal, while secondary


actors support these interactions.

• Identifying all relevant actors is crucial for a comprehensive understanding


of system requirements.
Identifying Use Cases

• Use cases should be identified based on the needs and goals of the actors
involved.

• Each use case must clearly define what the system should do in response
to actor interactions.

• Properly defined use cases enhance communication among stakeholders


and facilitate better design.
Relationships in Use Case Diagrams

• Use case diagrams utilize various relationships such as associations,


inclusions, and extensions.

• Associations connect actors to use cases to illustrate their interactions and


responsibilities.

• Inclusion and extension relationships help to clarify how use cases can
share or modify behavior.
Benefits of Use Case Diagrams

• Use case diagrams improve clarity by providing a visual representation of


system interactions.

• They facilitate better communication among developers, stakeholders,


and users throughout the project.

• By focusing on user requirements, they help ensure that the final product
meets user expectations.
Common Mistakes in Creating Use Case Diagrams

• One common mistake is failing to identify all relevant actors, which can
lead to incomplete requirements.

• Overcomplicating use cases with excessive detail can obscure their


purpose and usability.

• Neglecting to validate use cases with stakeholders may result in


misaligned expectations and functionality.
