Use Case Description EXAMPLE [ Use Case Tutorial and Best Practices ]

A use case description AKA use case specification provides a way to verify that your functional requirements will cover all the bases and take all the possible scenarios into consideration. Need a Use Case Description Example??? Well... you got it! This is a widely used approach to documenting functional requirements, which is why the use case description also makes the list of BABOKs 50 BA techniques. This requirements documentation technique is often paired with its visual counterpart known as the use case diagram. If you want to know the best practices for use case descriptions, check out this video! I'll be presenting an example as well as the main components of the specification including actors (primary and secondary), basic flow, alternate flow, exception flow, scenarios, pre-conditions, post-conditions, and triggers.

When to use a Use Case Description (Use Case Specification)?
- To help further refine use case diagrams
- To supplement or decompose a user story
- To help verify with SMEs that all possible scenarios are accounted for
- To communicate what the system will be used for development
- To elicit suggestions from the development team on technical constraints
- To help clearly narrate expected system responses and outcomes
- To show a sequential flow of events for a proposed solution
- To provide a simple representation of goals and outcomes
- To give stakeholders an opportunity to see if the narrative aligns with their expectations
- To provide a framework for testing

Woke up early and started watching this at 4.40 am, just finished at 5.35 am after taking copious notes. Thanks for this excellent resource.

This was an extremely clear and extensive overview of use case descriptions! I love how you described the distinction between flows and situations, as well as the need of keeping processes sequential. The way you brought everything together with examples, particularly the online transaction situation, made it easy to understand. Plus, the idea about not include design details is quite useful—it greatly streamlines the process. Excellent job on this tutorial! Thanks!

Your video provides an excellent and comprehensive overview of use case descriptions, clearly distinguishing between use case diagrams and descriptions. The practical example with a banking system adds significant value, helping to contextualize the theory with real-world applications. Thank you so much for this!

Use Case documentation has been a game changer for managing projects in my organization! It helps to narrow the focus for developers, and it also cuts down on scope creep. I wish I started doing this sooner!

[morranjohansen]

I used the use case on my most recent project and the developers loved it! Thanks for this helpful resource!!

Suggestion: Kindly add the template and tool used, so that Beginner can use it for reference.

[sonson]

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm a newbie to BA and understood most of it, but I'm definitely watching this again.

Also, is Use Case Description also known as the Use Case Document?

[codm-skiller]

Is this for software Engineering ? Because i learn software Engineering and we have it

[segunoladele]

I may say this video broke down use case description very well
