+00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120

+Now if you want to build a use case diagram for

+

+2

+00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,520

+our example, we have to add the use cases for

+

+3

+00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,710

+these different actors. For instance, if we consider the student

+

+4

+00:00:07,710 --> 00:00:10,810

+and the registrar, they might be both interacting with the maintain

+

+5

+00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:14,950

+schedule system, the registrar by updating the schedule and the

+

+6

+00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:18,125

+students by using the schedule that has been updated by the

+

+7

+00:00:18,125 --> 00:00:20,860

+registrar. As you can see, different roles for the same

+

+8

+00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:24,962

+use case. Another possible use case is the request course roster.

+

+9

+00:00:24,962 --> 00:00:28,520

+And on this case, the professor will request the roster

+

+10

+00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,960

+by interacting with the system. We will continue in this way

+

+11

+00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,270

+by further refining and by further adding use cases as we

+

+12

+00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:39,240

+identify possible interactions of the actors that we identified with our

+

+13

+00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,380

+system. So in summary, what the use case diagram is doing

+

+14

+00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:45,370

+is to show the actors and their interaction with the system

+

+15

+00:00:45,370 --> 00:00:47,680

+through a set of use cases. At this point, it should

+

+16

+00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,990

+be pretty clear that sure, this gives us an idea of

+

+17

+00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:53,630

+the interactions but we don't really know how these interactions occur.

+

+18

+00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:55,870

+So there is one piece that is missing, which is how

+

+19

+00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:58,850

+do we document the use cases, how do we describe what

+

+20

+00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:02,010

+happens and what these interactions actually are. And that's exactly what

+

+21

+00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:05,410

+we're going to discuss now, how to document use cases. So the

+

+22

+00:01:05,410 --> 00:01:09,000

+behavior of a use case can be specified by describing its

+

+23

+00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,650

+flow of events. And it is important to note that the

+

+24

+00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:15,190

+flow of events should be described from an actor's point of view,

+

+25

+00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:17,690

+so from the point of view of the external entity that

+

+26

+00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:22,070

+is interacting with my system. So the description should detail what

+

+27

+00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,480

+the system must provide to the actor when the use case

+

+28

+00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,170

+is executed. In particular, it should describe how the use case

+

+29

+00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:31,670

+starts and ends. It should describe the normal flow of events,

+

+30

+00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:34,280

+what is the normal interaction. And in addition to the normal

+

+31

+00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,720

+flow of events, it should also describe possibly alternative flows of

+

+32

+00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,240

+events. For example, in the case in which there are multiple

+

+33

+00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,450

+ways of accomplishing one action or performing a task. And finally,

+

+34

+00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:47,880

+it should also describe exceptional flow of events. For example, assume that

+

+35

+00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,910

+you are describing a use case for withdrawing money from an

+

+36

+00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:54,230

+ATM. You may want to describe the normal flow of events in which

+

+37

+00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:56,590

+I insert my card, I provide my pin and so on.

+

+38

+00:01:56,590 --> 00:01:59,750

+An alternative one in which, in addition to withdrawing cash, maybe I'll

+

+39

+00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:02,550

+also first ask for some information about how much money is

+

+40

+00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:05,390

+in my account. And finally, I may want to also describe an exceptional

+

+41

+00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:07,900

+flow of events in which I get my pin wrong and,

+

+42

+00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,140

+therefore, I'm not able to perform the operation. One more thing I

+

+43

+00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:14,140

+want to mention, when we talk about documenting use cases, is

+

+44

+00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:17,770

+the fact that the description of this information can be provided in

+

+45

+00:02:17,770 --> 00:02:20,650

+two main ways, in an informal way or in a formal

+

+46

+00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:23,330

+way. In the case of an informal description, we could just have

+

+47

+00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:27,540

+a textual description of the flow of events in natural language.

+

+48

+00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:30,250

+In the case of a formal or structured description, we may use,

+

+49

+00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:32,610

+for example, pre and post conditions, pseudo

+

+50

+00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,680

+code to indicate the steps. We could

+

+51

+00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,010

+also use the sequence diagrams, which is something that we will see in a minute.
