Use case diagram dialog box

 

Use case diagrams

The use case diagram is used to describe the most important services rendered by the system.  Starting with actors, external participants who interact with the system, they represent the most important cases of system operating.  A use case may then be sub-divided into sequence diagrams, which detail the different functions of one use case.

 

A use case diagram can be created in packages, classes, interfaces, actors or components. 

 

The "Use case diagram" dialog box contains four tabs - "Properties", "Notes", "Tagged values" and "Stereotypes".  For information on these standard dialog box tabs, please see "Standard dialog box tabs".
