Egor,

 

What we do is create Activity diagrams and the attach a note to the UseCase (in the UC diagram) and drag-n-drop the activity diagram into the note. When the note is clicked on, the activity diagram appears. I hope this is good enough.

Subject: (ROSE) Use Cases scenarios - newbie question

Hello

 

We've just started using Use Cases to document/design our project.

 

What I can't get is how to define scenarios ( ie sequence of actions )

on Use Case diagram. Is there any standard way to do that or I just

need to put all this into documentation ? Or draw additional activity

diagram ?

 

For example the Use Case "Distribute a survey" should include

"Enter list of emails", "Enter start/stop dates" etc. etc. done in the

exactly same sequence. If any of steps fails, whole Use Case fails.

That's too simple sequence for activity diagram and too long for

documentation. I tried to add one more dependency stereotype

"follows" - but it makes diagram overloaded.

 

Please if you have any solution for this, post it here as it can be useful

for all use case novices.

 

Thanks in advance
