What is USE CASE DIAGRAM?
• Use case diagrams model the functionality of a system
using actors and use cases.
• Use cases are a set of actions, services, and functions
that the system needs to perform.
• In this context, a "system" is something being developed
or operated, such as a web site.
• The "actors" are people or entities operating under
defined roles within the system.

Why Make Use Case Diagrams?
• Use case diagrams are valuable for visualizing the
functional requirements of a system that will
translate into design choices and development
priorities.
• They also help identify any internal or external
factors that may influence the system and should
be taken into consideration.

Purpose of USE CASE Diagram
1. Organizes functional requirements
2. Models the goals of system/actor (user) interactions
3. Gather system requirements and actors. Use case
diagrams specify the events of a system and their flows.

Basic Use Case Diagram Symbols and Notations
• System/System Boundary
Draw your system's boundaries using a rectangle that contains
use cases. Place actors outside the system's boundaries.

● Actors:
- Actors are the users of a system.
- When one system is the actor of another system, label
the actor system with the actor stereotype for example:
Sensor, Camera, Alarm, etc.,

Basic Use Case Diagram Symbols and Notations

• Use Case
– Functionalities to be represented as
use case
– A use case describes how actors uses
a system to accomplish a particular
goal.

• Association/Relationship
The relationships between and among the actors and
the use cases.
• Two types of Relationship
• <<include>> Use Case
• <<extend>> Use Case

How to Draw a Use Case Diagram?
1. Identify the Actors (role of users) of the system.
2. For each category of users, identify all roles played by the users
relevant to the system.
3. Identify what are the users required the system to be performed
to achieve these goals.
4. Create use cases for every goal.
5. Structure the use cases.
6. Prioritize, review, estimate and validate the users.

To make use case approach more "Agile", do not detail all use
cases, but prioritize them in your product backlog, you should
refine the use case in different level of details according to the
development phase with just-in-time and just-enough manner.
