How to Define and Document Use Cases

The critical success factor for any solution is whether or not the end-users will be able to use it to do what they need to do. The concept of using use cases to define end-user interaction with a proposed information technology solution is invaluable for interactive applications.
A use case diagram is a visual tool that shows interaction between the environment and an evolving information technology solution. A single use case is a textual tool for representing how individual end-users and other involved parties or systems (collectively referred to as "actors:") will interact with the proposed system. Knowing why you need a use case, when it should be created, and where to put what information is critical to creating quality functional requirements. Without a common understanding of the purpose and structure of use case diagrams and the use case document, use cases can quickly become "useless cases".
