Activity: Use-Case Analysis

Purpose To identify the classes which perform a use case’s flow of events. To distribute the use case behavior to those classes, using use-case realizations. To identify the responsibilities, attributes and associations of the classes. To note the usage of architectural mechanisms
Steps Supplement the use-case descriptions For each use case realization Identify analysis classes from use-case behavior Distribute behavior to analysis classes For each resulting analysis class Describe responsibilities Describe attributes and associations Qualify analysis mechanisms Evaluate the results of use-case analysis
