3. Outline Use Case – defined Techniques for Identifying Use Cases  User Goal  Event Decomposition  CRUD Analysis UML's Use Case Diagram 3

4. Use Case - Defined Use case - an activity that the system performs  usually in response to a request by a user  Functional Requirements  Verb + Noun Place order Issue complaint 4

5. Identifying Use Cases 3 Techniques  User Goal  Event Decomposition  CRUD Analysis 5

6. Identifying Use Cases- User Goal Technique Ask the users what they need the system to do 1.Identify the users 2.Interview them 3.Create the list of use cases Some users may need the same use case Watch out for duplicates, inconsistencies 4.Verify the list with the users 6

7. Identifying Use Cases- Event Decomposition Identify the events that occur to which the system must respond.  Event - an occurrence at a specific time & place which needs to be remembered  Use Case - what the system does when the event occurs Prior Conditions & Events 7

8. Identifying Use Cases- Event Decomposition Types of Events  External  Temporal  State 8

9. Identifying Use Cases- Event Decomposition Transaction's Life Cycle System Controls  These events are dealt with in the Design Phase − Log in, time to change password, change user preferences, backup the DB, recover a DB  "Perfect technology Assumption" 9

10. Identifying Use Cases - CRUD Analysis Can be a tool for: use case identification and/or validation  Ensure that there are use cases to cover the CRUD 10 C R U D CRUD Matrix All use cases All data entities Shows responsibilities CRUD - For 1 data entity

12. UML's Use Case Diagram 12

13. UML - The Unified Modeling Language An Object-Oriented modeling language  "3 Amigos" - Booch, Rumbaugh, and Jacobson  Adopted & now managed by OMG (Object Management Group) Models both structure & behavior  Structure diagrams − Class diagram, Component diagram, Deployment diagram, Object diagram, Package diagram, etc.  Behavior diagrams − Activity diagram, Use Case diagram, Sequence diagram, State machine, Communication diagram, etc. 13

14. Use Case Diagram A UML diagram depicting the relationship between actors & use cases  Defines Scope/Functional Requirements  Automation Boundary − The boundary between the software and the actors of the system  Actor − Anyone or thing that directly interacts with the system  Use Case − an activity that the system performs  Association − Depicts a usage relationship between an actor and a use case  > Relationship − Used when one use case (base) includes another use case (the inclusion use case) 14 Time CustomerBilling >
