System Design: Using UML Use Cases

In this lecture we cover how UML Use Cases can be used for requirements capture. We look at the anatomy of a Use Case Description, and the way in which use cases can be brought together in a use case diagram. We also look at the way that use cases can be derived from problems using noun verb analysis.
