Use Cases

1
Key Ideas
Use cases are a text-based method of
describing and documenting complex
processes
Use cases add detail to the requirements
outlined in the requirement definition
Systems analysts work with users to
develop use cases
Systems analysts develop process and
data models later based on the use
cases

Roles of Use Cases
A use case is a set of activities that
produce some output result
Describes how the system reacts to an
event that triggers the system
Trigger -- event that causes the use case
to be executed
Event-driven modeling – everything in
the system is a response to some
triggering event
