UML - Use Case Diagram

UML stands for unified modeling language. It is used to create a blueprint for a project.

A use case diagram is a list of steps needed to reach a goal. Its defines what is required and how those requirements are met.

You will narrow down what you have to have.

Before you create a use case diagram you need to create a description of the use case diagram. For example the above would look something like this:





Use Case Specifications Example 2: ATM Machine Use Case Description: Allows any bank customer to obtain cash from their bank account. This use case begins when an ATM customer chooses a type of account from which the cash is to be withdrawn (e.g. checking) from a list of possible accounts, and to choose a dollar amount from a list of possible amounts. The system sends the transaction to the financial system for verification. If the financial system approves the transaction, the machine dispenses the appropriate amount of cash and issues a receipt. The dispensing of cash is also recorded in the ATMs log Use Case Name: Withdraw Cash Actors: . Any Bank Customer (Has an existing account) . Banking System (Any banks ATM and its infrastructure) Triggers: . The user wants to withdraw money from one of his/her account. Preconditions: . The ATM is operational » The bank customer has a card to insert into the ATM Post conditions: » The bank customer has received their cash (and optionally a receipt) » The bank has debitedthe customers bank account and recorded details ofthe transaction Normal Flow: 1. The customer enters the bankcard into the ATM 2. The ATM verifies that the card is a valid bankcard 3. The ATM requests a PIN code 4. The customer enters the PIN code 5. The ATM validates the bankcard against the PIN code. 6. The ATM presents service options including Withdraw 7. The customer chooses Withdraw 8. The ATM verifies sufficient funds in the customers bank account. 9. The ATM presents options for amounts. 10. The customer enters an amount. 11. The ATM verifies that the customer is below withdrawing limits.

Use case descriptions includes who the actors are, what the triggers are, and other elements.

Beta versions of a project have Shall requirements, should requirements can be done but can be done later.

A use case diagram uses stereotypes to represent an element of your system.

Conversations Ongoing: Valuing Modernization in Early European History

Western scholarship has been known to focus on several metanarratives that define itself. These narratives can influence how we as historians view a certain time period, people, or event. Modernization in early European history can be seen as a major driving force in past and current scholarship. Influences of scientific progress, a fracturing Catholic Church, and growing capitalistic influences dominate the ideas scholars possess when viewing Europe during this time period. In regard to our own ideas about the narrative of modernization, its benefits and costs, one should be cognizant of this in viewing the social, economic, political and religious changes early "modern" Europeans faced.

Conversations Ongoing: A Bunch of Amateurs

Jack Hitt's a Bunch of Amateurs To analyze the American character one must take into account the narratives of our country, specifically the three metanarratives that it is based on. In Hitt's analysis of our national character he finds an endless list of examples stretching back to our early Vaudevillian days of americans striking out, trying to get-rich-quick, seemingly fearless in the face of overwhelming odds. I believe that piggy-backing onto the narratives of scientific progress, manifest destiny, and modernization one can easily get caught up in them. Cherry-picking evidence of those who have succeeded, painting a picture of our collective desire to innovate is troublesome. Simply put, I can create the opposite narrative quite easily. Many people in the USA have little to no interest in innovation, modernization, or the like. Quite the opposite. This place is much more than a collective bunch of amateurs but rather it includes them into the fold o...
