Advanced Use Case Modeling: Software Systems

Part 4. Advanced Use Case Modeling Framework: Expanding the Use Case Model

What’s in this part?

This part discusses how initial use case descriptions are expanded with more detail and how the increased complexity is modeled.

As described in the last chapter, the outcome of the initial use case modeling activities is a conceptual picture of the role the system will play in the organization. The conceptual use case model describes the system’s major responsibilities and the specific actors (people, other systems, and so on) that the system interacts with. The objective of the conceptual analysis is not to focus on the details of these system requirements but to capture an overall understanding of the system’s place in its environment.
