An in-depth look at use cases, actors, and use case modeling

Come join us as we explore the world of use cases and use case modeling. We'll take a deep dive into this part of the UML, looking at actors, use cases, use case diagrams, flows of events, and activity diagrams. With these powerful tools at your disposal, you'll be able to create requirements artifacts that are invaluable to your team.

In this course, you’ll learn:
