🙌 Tips for writing good use cases
A use case is the story of how the business or system and the user interact.
Use cases are part of the Object Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling
Language (UML) standard. This standard tells us what the parts of the use case
diagrams mean—the stick figures, ovals and lines—and it gives us the definition
of a use case. But it doesn’t tell us how to structure or write one. So we’re left to
read books or articles (like this one), to try to figure out the right way.
