Use Case Modeling Training Course

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

Use Cases - Indentify and Describe

• Identifying use cases and writing description
• Use Case Controls:
