1.5 Use cases and usage scenariosThe Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the articles of software systems, as well as for business modeling and other non-software systems. The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems. The UML is very important part of developing object oriented software and the software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical notations to express the design of software projects. Using the UML helps project team communicate, explore potential designs, and validate the architectural design of the software.

Goals of Unified Modeling Language (UML)The primary goals in the design of UML were: Provide users with a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling language so they can develop and exchange meaningful models.

Provide extensibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.

Be independent of particular programming languages and development processes.

Provide a formal basis of understanding the modeling language

Encourage the growth OO tools market.

Support higher-level development concepts such as collaborations, frameworks, patterns and components.

Integrate best practices.

Why Use UML?

As the strategic value of software increases for many companies, the industry looks for techniques to automate the production of software and to improve quality and reduce cost and time-to-market. These techniques include component technology, visual programming, patterns and frameworks. Business also seeks techniques to manage the complexity of systems as they increase in scope and scale. In particular they recognize the need to solve recruiting architectural problems, such as physical distribution, concurrency, replication, security, load balancing and fault tolerance. Additionally, the development for the World Wide Web, while making some things simpler, has exacerbated these architectural problems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was designed to respond to these needs.

Each UML diagram is designed to let developers and customers view a software system from a different perspective and in varying degrees and abstraction. UML diagrams commonly created in visual modeling tools include

1.5.2 Usage Scenarios

It is easy to mix up the definitions of use case and use case scenario. A use case represents the actions that are required to enable or abandon a goal. A use case has multiple paths that can be taken by any user at any one time. A use case scenario is a single path through the use case. This article provides an example use case and some diagrams to help visualize the concept.

A usage scenario, or scenario for short, describes a real world example of how one or more people or organizations interact with a system. They describe the steps, events, and/or actions which occur during the interaction. Here are some usage scenarios with UML activity diagrams which can show the process flow of Online Classified Ads.
