Introduction to Use Case Modeling
Brief background and context for use cases
Use case definitions, elements, and components
Benefits of use case modeling
Organizing requirements with use cases
Use case diagrams as a UML notation
Organizing the model with packages
Use case actors
Users and Actors
Business and system actors
Identifying actors and mapping stakeholders
Use Cases - Indentify and Describe
Identifying use cases and writing description
Use Case Controls:
preconditions
postconditions
assumptions
scenarios
Use Case Scenarios
Main success scenario
Alternates and exceptions
Indicating iteration
Advanced Techniques
<<include>> relationship
<<exclude>> relationship
Generalization
Specialization
Multiplicity
Practical Use Cases Concepts
Flows of events and their purpose: primary, alternate, and exception paths
Methods for documenting primary flows
Documenting alternate and exception flows
Documenting scenarios
Narrative flow examples
Use Cases and Test Cases
Relationship between use cases and test cases/scenarios
Translating use cases into test cases
Use cases and user interfaces/prototyping
Prototyping roles, preparation, and execution
UML Concepts

Class and object relationships
Extracting classes from use cases
Verifying a class: attributes, operations, and associations/multiplicity
