Hi,
In reponse to your first question: - I'm not sure that Letter should be an actor. Actor 1 seems to initiate the use case, so the use case would look like your first example, except without the letter. actor1-------->(write letter) The actual letter would not be an actor because it is created in a use case within the system/problem domain. Actors are roles or other systems outside of the domain of the system under analysis or design. The letter does not seem to interact with the system/problem domain, it is the result of the successful completion of use case "Write Letter". Hope this helps, Tara. > -----Original Message----- > From: qazmlp0912 [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 12:15 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: (ROSE) Asscoaiation relations, names > > > > > > I'm not clear about showing the association between an actor and the > usecase. > > 1. > actor1 writes a letter. > ---------------------- > In the above case there are 2 actors: actor1 and letter > 1 usecase: write letter > > How does the usecase diagram looklike? > > actor1-------->(write letter)----->letter > > or > > actor1<-------(write letter)<-----letter > > or something else? > > > 2.
