 What Is Use a Case Diagram

In the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a use case

diagram can summarize the details of your system's
users (also known as actors) and their interactions with
the system. To build one, you'll use a set of specialized
symbols and connectors. An effective use case diagram
can help your team discuss and represent:

3
 What Is Use a Case Diagram
 Scenarios in which your system or application
interacts with people, organizations, or external
systems.

 Goals that your system or application helps those

entities (known as actors) achieve.

 The scope of your system

4
 When To Apply Use Case Diagrams
 A use case diagram doesn't go into a lot of detail. Instead, a
proper use case diagram depicts a high-level overview of the
relationship between use cases, actors, and systems.

 Use cases are represented with a labeled oval shape. Stick figures
represent actors in the process, and the actor's participation in the
system is modeled with a line between the actor and use case.

5
 When To Apply Use Case Diagrams

UML use case diagrams are ideal for:

 Representing the goals of system-user interactions.

 Defining and organizing functional requirements in a system.

 Specifying the context and requirements of a system.

 Modeling the basic flow of events in a use case.

6
 Use Case Diagram Components

 Actors: 

The users that interact with a system. An actor can be a person,

an organization, or an outside system that interacts with your
application or system.

7
 Use Case Diagram Components

 System:

A specific sequence of actions and interactions between actors

and the system. A system may also be referred to as a scenario.

8
 Use Case Diagram Components

 Goals:

The end result of most use cases. A successful diagram should

describe the activities and variants used to reach the goal.

9
 Use Case Diagram Symbols and
Notations
 Use cases:
Horizontally shaped ovals that represent the different uses that
a user might have.

 Actors:
Stick figures that represent the people actually employing the
use cases.

10
 Use Case Diagram Symbols and
Notations
 Associations:
A line between actors and use cases.

 System boundary boxes:

A box that sets a system scope to use cases. All use cases
outside the box would be considered outside the scope of that
system.
