I am in the process of writing test cases based on system use cases and need
some insight on documentation. Is there a RUP template for documenting test
cases that span across more than one use case?

Creating test cases based on a single use case seems to create an isolated
set of tests. For instance, I have a use case named Navigate Map which
consists of several scenarios: Zoom In, Zoom Out, Pan, Zoom to Active Layer,
Zoom to Previous Extent, etc. Creating test cases for the scenarios only
tests map navigation. I have another use case named Query Facility. The
purpose of this use case is to provide the crew the ability to query and
locate water or waste water facilities (underground infrastructure. A test
case that queries a facility and once found a tester selects to zoom out or
zoom to previous extent which ensures the two functions work together seems
to be beneficial.

What is the best way to the document the test cases so they span across
several different use cases to show better testing as oppose to isolated
function tests?
