Creating the Use Case Diagram of a Package
A use case diagram is used to describe the interactions between the organization actors and the system, for each of the planned use cases.
*A use case is a series of actions leading to an observable result for a given actor. Scenarios illustrate use cases for example.
These use cases are grouped into packages representing the system boundaries.
*A package partitions the domain studied and the associated work. It enables grouping of various elements, in particular use cases and classes. A package can also contain other packages. Packages are interconnected through contractual reports defining their interface.
You can create a use case diagram from a package. However, for complex systems, you can create this type of diagram from a use case in order to detail the latter.
With HOPEX IT Architecture , you can also create a use case diagram for the application environment of a project. See Creating an application Use Case Diagram.
