About this class

Use cases provide a structured, industry-standard way of eliciting and documenting visibly observable functional requirements from the point of view of the business. The process enhances communication between business analysts and stakeholders and helps stakeholders articulate their needs in a way other elicitation techniques cannot. It also lays the foundation for user interface design and test case development. This course provides the right blend of knowledge and skills for people to understand and model business use cases effectively.

This course has been approved for 14 PDUs | 14 CDUs

What you'll be able to do

  • Define the major components of use case models using Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation.
  • Identify the different types of actors and determine candidate use cases.
  • Develop a use case diagram and the narrative flow of events using a Use Case Template.
  • Create an Activity Diagram to chart the scenarios of a use case.
  • Diagram various use case relationships.
  • Leverage use cases to quickly create test cases and develop user interface prototypes based on the use case
