Mathieu,
Generally, Use Cases are a vehicle for a business analyst to capture the
user interaction requirements of an application, and confirm with the user
that they are all on the same page and that all the needs have been met.
They're written in a language that a user can understand; they're the first
part of the bridge spanning the gap between the user requirements and the
actual code that implements the application.
Here's some good refernences on the subject (and UML) that I leveraged for
a presentation on Use Cases within our company:

Hi everyone,
This is actually my very first post. I just wanted to take a moment to
thank everyone for keeping things so active in here. I find that even by
just being an observer, I'm learning alot about .NET (vicariously
however!).
I installed VSEA today as well as Visio. I'm somewhat new to formal
architectural diagrams but I believe that I understand the fundamentals
quite well. Where I'm having some confusion is with regards to the
transition between a "Use Case" and a "Static Structure".
I've noticed that you can setup all sorts of things like operations and
their arguments. You can even specify what their types should be. This
leads me to believe that, based on a Use Case, one should be able to
generate, to some capacity, a Static Structure.
Is this true? Otherwise I don't understand the point behind drilling down
to such detail in a Use Case...
Thanks!
- Mat
