A use case is a description of the interactions between users, products, services or systems. Use cases are famously depicted as simple diagrams with stick figures connected to bubbles that list events and actions. Such diagrams are always accompanied with textual descriptions that give details such as scope, preconditions, triggers, process flow, business rules and post conditions. Each use case is focused on a user driven goal that can be achieved with a list of steps known as a main success scenario. Use cases may also list steps for alternative scenarios such as invalid user data, these are known as extensions.
