BEST PRACTICES
- The system boundary is undefined or inconsistent.
- The use cases are written from the system's (not the actors') point of view.
- The actor names are inconsistent.
- The actor-to-use case relationships resemble a spider's web
- The use case specifications are too long.
- The use case specifications are confusing.
- The use case doesn't correctly describe functional entitlement.
- The customer doesn't understand the use cases
- The use cases are never finished.
- The functional nature of use cases naturally leads to the functional decomposition of a system in terms of concrete and abstract use cases that are related by extends and uses associations which further scatters the features of the objects and classes among the individual use cases.
- The use case model and the object model belong to different paradigms (i.e., functional and object-oriented) and therefore use different concepts, terminology, techniques, and notations. The simple structure of the use case model does not clearly map to the network structure of the object model with its collaborating objects and classes.
- Too many use cases that can produce an essentially infinite number of usage scenarios, especially with today's graphical user interfaces and event driven systems.
- The use case modeling typically does not yet apply all of the traditional techniques that are useful for analyzing and designing functional abstractions.
- The use cases ignore the encapsulation of attributes and operations into objects, issues of state modeling that clearly impact the applicability.
- The lack of formality in the definitions of the terms use case, actor, extends, and uses.
- The archetypical subsystem architecture of use cases that can result from blindly using use cases
- Use cases are defined in terms of interactions between one or more actors and the system to be developed.
- Basing increments on functional use cases threatens to cause the same problems with basing builds on major system functions.
