Hi Mohammad,
<<I appreciate if someone can tell me the difference between a use case that
captures a business process and a regular system use case.>>
If the scope of your modeling effort (SuD) is the business, use
business/organizational use cases. The primary actor will be someone or
something that uses the business in order to attain some goal.
If the SuD is an information system, use system use cases. The primary actor
will typically be a worker from within the business. The business worker
uses the information system (SuD) to help business actors (e.g. customers)
attain their goals. The business worker may later be automated (replaced by
software - hopefully off to do better things), in effect automating that
business process.
Once those distinctions are made, you may want to consider the goal-levels
of both your business and system use cases. Not all use cases are at the
same goal level! Use cases at the user-goal level, by definition, bring true
value to the primary actor. Logon use cases, for example, are below the
user-goal level. People don't get paid to logon to systems. Summary-level
use cases consolidate and provide context for user-goal level use cases.
<<Is there any way to show difference between these use cases in Rose 2000
without RUP?>>
Just stereotype your use cases appropriately. If you don't get the modified
renditions it won't matter since its decorative only.
