19.UseCaseSpecification

• Link to Use Cases (MyIsern-Orange Wiki Page)

• Summary:
• A voice recorder would be very helpful on Wednesday, October 10 while I was trying so hard to take notes down from the professor who lectured on use cases for the MyIsern project.

• I did not know that there are a lot of restrictions when writing use cases until I read those articles about use cases. When we wrote the use cases, we tried to follow the use case modeling tips on the IBM website. For example,
• use active voice
• write from the point of view of users
• write scenario text
• alternate courses of action
• think the user interface

• The use cases we wrote help me understand features of the system because use cases provide basic and alternate courses from the point of view of users. This is what we have to concern when we code MyIsern.
  

• One article says that use cases should be written before a system is created. I agree with this statement because a good use case shows a real situation that a user can face when using the system. Therefore, software developers can code better programs.
