What do you mean by Use-Case?



Posted By: Avi Date: 8 November 2009 05:20:16 AM
 Answer:

The term Use-Case is used in software engineering which is a description of a system's behavior. In other words, a use case describes "who" can do "what" with the system in question. Use cases describe the system from the user's point of view.

The use case technique is used to capture a system's behavioral/functional requirements.

Use cases describe the system from the user's point of view !!! A Use Case is a technique for capturing functional requirements of system.

Use cases focus on the users of the system, not the system itself, thus the real system needs are brought to light early on. Since a use case consists mainly of narrative text, it is easily understandable by all stakeholders, including customers, users and executives, not just developers and testers...


Each use case describes one way the system is used, but one of the big benefits of use case modeling is that it also describes all of the things that might go wrong. Identifying exceptions to a successful scenario early in the project saves a lot of time by finding subtle requirements.
