USE CASE Diagram and its related important Question Answer
Here we have some frequently asked questions (FAQ) about or related to use case diagrams. If you have some question not in the list or can provide a better answer, you can suggest those at the bottom of the page as a comment.
What are requirements?
Requirements describe external view of a system, system's externally observable characteristics (phenotype). Older approach to requirements is to describe what a system should do without specifying how it does it.
How requirements are collected?
There are different methods of requirements elicitation. To collect requirements:
· recognize the problem being experienced, or
· determine the opportunities to better serve customers,
· ascertain external system behavior that could address those problems or opportunities,
· document the list of the problems, opportunities, and desired behaviors as requirements.
What are different types of requirements?
Some types of requirements are:
· Functional requirements - what the system should do.
· Quality (or non-functional) requirements - how fast, reliable, secure system should be.
· Data requirements - what data should be stored by system.
What are functional requirements?
Functional requirements describe what the system should do in terms of system's input, system's behavior in response to that input, and output back to the user of the system. Generally, functional requirements are expressed in the form "The system shall <do><requirement>", for example, "The system shall accept guest check-in request and allocate a room."
Are use cases the same as functional requirements or functional requirements are different from use cases?
Functional requirements could be collected and documented using different approaches, techniques, tools, and templates. Use cases were created by Ivar Jacobson in 1986 to support visual modeling of functional requirements. Use cases became one of the most widely used approaches for capturing functional requirements for object-oriented systems as part of UML and Rational Unified Process (RUP). It is now a common practice to express functional requirements as use cases, described in both graphical and narrative form.
What is use case diagram?
Use case diagram is UML diagram which shows some business or software system, its external users (called actors), and a set of actions (called use cases) that users of the system should or can perform while using the system. Use case diagrams are used to describe functionality of a system from the point of view of external users.
What is use case?
Each use case describes a unit of complete and useful functionality that business or system provides to its users, how external user interacts with a system to achieve a desired result. Some examples of use cases: Hire employee, Buy ticket, Place order, Deposit funds.
What is actor in use case diagrams?
Actor represents some group (called "role") of external customers or users of the business or software system. Actors have some needs and require specific services from the system. Some examples of actors are: Customer, Student, and Passenger. Actor could be not just human but also another system, business, or device.
What is the difference between use case diagram and use case?
Use case diagram shows business or system, its external users, and use cases applicable to the system. Use case represents one specific goal or need of the user from the system
