Course Outline

Introduction to Use Case Modeling for Government

  • Brief background and context for use cases within government operations
  • Definitions, elements, and components of use cases tailored for government applications
  • Benefits of use case modeling in public sector workflows

    - Organizing requirements with use cases to enhance project management and stakeholder communication

    - Utilizing use case diagrams as a UML notation to visually represent system interactions

    - Organizing the model with packages to maintain clarity and manage complexity

Use Case Actors for Government

  • Users and actors in government systems
  • Business and system actors within public sector environments
  • Identifying actors and mapping stakeholders to ensure comprehensive representation of all user roles

Use Cases - Identify and Describe for Government

  • Identifying use cases and writing descriptions that align with government processes
  • Use Case Controls:

    - Preconditions necessary for initiating a use case

    - Postconditions that define the state of the system after a use case is completed

    - Assumptions to clarify underlying conditions and constraints

    - Scenarios to illustrate different paths through the use case

Use Case Scenarios for Government

  • Main success scenario to outline the primary sequence of events
  • Alternates and exceptions to address variations and errors
  • Indicating iteration to manage recurring processes within government systems

Advanced Techniques for Government Use Cases

  • <<include>> relationship to consolidate common steps across multiple use cases
  • <<exclude>> relationship to avoid redundancy and streamline documentation
  • Generalization to define a hierarchy of use cases for better organization
  • Specialization to detail specific variations of more general use cases
  • Multiplicity to specify the number of instances involved in a use case

Practical Use Cases Concepts for Government

  • Flows of events and their purpose: primary, alternate, and exception paths to ensure comprehensive coverage
  • Methods for documenting primary flows to maintain clarity and traceability
  • Documenting alternate and exception flows to address all potential scenarios
  • Documenting scenarios to provide detailed step-by-step guidance
  • Narrative flow examples to illustrate real-world applications within government operations
  • Use Cases and Test Cases

    - Relationship between use cases and test cases/scenarios to ensure robust testing practices

    - Translating use cases into test cases to facilitate quality assurance

    - Use cases and user interfaces/prototyping to enhance system design and usability

    - Prototyping roles, preparation, and execution to support iterative development processes

  • UML Concepts

    - UML notation to standardize the representation of use cases

    - Class and object relationships to model system components effectively

    - Extracting classes from use cases to ensure a consistent design approach

    - Verifying a class: attributes, operations, and associations/multiplicity to ensure accuracy and completeness

    - Include relationship and example to demonstrate how common steps are shared

    - Referring to includes in flows to maintain clarity and reduce redundancy

    - Extend relationship and example to show optional or conditional behavior

    - Referring to extends in flows to manage variations efficiently

    - Generalization relationship and example to illustrate hierarchical relationships among use cases

  • Use case documentation for government to ensure thorough and accessible records of system requirements and design

Requirements

While prior experience in software development or basic technical knowledge is not strictly required, such background can enhance understanding of the concepts for government professionals.
