Use Case Toolbox

The Use Case Toolbox pages are used to model system functionality from the perspective of a system user. Use Case objects are used to build the Use Case models, which describe the functionality of the system to be built, the requirements, the constraints and how the user interacts with the system.

Sequence diagrams can be associated with Use Cases to capture workflow and system behavior.
