    Use Case Diagram


    Introduction
     What to do if you want to build a new house?
    › Buy a bunch of wood and nails and start immediately.
    › Or, put some blueprints to follow, and plan of the
    steps.

    In software world this is called a


    Model
    Visual Modeling
     Is the process of taking the information from the model
    and displaying it graphically using a standard set of
    graphical elements.
     Standardization is vital in visual modeling.
    › Ease communication: between users, developers, analysts,
    testers, managers, etc.
     Very important in the Information Systems
    development process:
    › Show how the system works on several levels.
    › Model the interactions between the users and a system,
    interactions of objects within a system, and the interactions
    between other systems.
    Unified Modeling Language
    (UML)
     A general-purpose, developmental, modeling
    language in the field of software engineering, that
    is intended to provide a standard way to visualize
    the design of a system.
    UML Diagrams
     Behavioral UML Diagrams:
    › Use case diagram.
    › Activity diagram.
    › Sequence diagram.
    › Timing diagram.
     Structured UML Diagrams:
    › Class diagram.
    › Object diagram.
    › Component diagram.
    › Deployment diagram.
    Use Case Diagram
     Use Case diagrams show the interactions
    between use cases and actors.
     Use cases represent system functionality, the
    requirements of the system from the user's
    perspective.
     They are useful for presentations to management
    and project stakeholders.
    Use Case Diagrams Elements

    1. Use cases.
    2. Actors.
    3. Relationships
    4. System boundary boxes (optional).
    1. Use Cases
     A use case describes a sequence of actions that
    provide something of measurable value to an
    actor and is drawn as a horizontal ellipse.
     a use case illustrates how someone might use the
    system.
    2. Actors
     An actor is a person, organization, or external
    system that plays a role in one or more interactions
    with your system.
     Actors are drawn as stick figures.
     Actors are anything that is outside the system's
    scope
     types of actors:
    › users of the system
    › other systems that will interact with the system being
    built
    3. Relationships (1)
     Association Relationship (actor and use case)
     An association relationship is a relationship between an
    actor and a use case.
     It indicates that a particular actor initiates the
    functionality provided by the use case.
    3. Relationships (2)
     Includes Relationship (use case and use case)
     Include relationship show that the behavior of the
    included use case is part of the including (base) use
    case.
     The base use case is incomplete without the included
    use case.
     The included use case is mandatory and not optional.
    3. Relationships (3)
     Extends Relationship (use case and use case)
     An extends relationship allows one use case the option to
    extend the functionality provided by another use case.
     While the "Change Reservation" use case is running,
    "Check Credit" runs if and only if the amount of the
    reservation has changed.
     Because "Check Credit" is optionally run, there is an
    extends relationship between the use cases.
     The arrow is drawn from the use case that is optionally run
    to the use case that is being extended.
    3. Relationships (4)
     Generalization (actor and actor) or (use case and use
    case)
    4. System boundary boxes
    (optional)
     You can draw a rectangle around the use cases,
    called the system boundary box, to indicates the
    scope of your system.
     Anything within the box represents functionality
    that is in scope and anything outside the box is
    not.
    4. System boundary boxes
    (optional)
    Examples
    Case Study (1)
     A book is written by an author, published by a
    publisher, sold by a book store, and buy or
    borrow by a reader. Moreover, for a reader to
    read a book, he might buy or borrow it from a
    book store that is selling it. Draw a use case
    diagram for this scenario, showing relationships
    between different use cases.
