RE: (ROSE) Question About Actors

[Flum, Michael]

Hi Pankaj,

  I need to make a clarification of what I said earlier.

 

  Anthony is correct.  A use-case never becomes an actor.  Only that the boundaries of the system may change and your system (actor and use-case) may become an external entity to a different system or subsystem.  And that new entity will act on this new subsystem use-case.

 

  I'm sorry I wasn't a bit more elaborative in my response.

Hello,

 

My understanding is that an Actor is an entity that is outside the scope of the system under consideration. They help us to define the scope that is outside the system as well as what is inside. Actors act upon the system but are not acted upon.

 

Is this a correct description or is there some thing untrue? Please also add the missing parts

 

Thanks
