What are the models that describe use cases in more detail?
What two UML diagrams are used to model domain classes?
Which part of a use case description can also be modeled by using an activity diagram?
Explain the difference between a use case and a scenario. Give a specific example of a use case with a few possible scenarios.
List the parts or compartments of a fully developed use case description.
Compare/contrast precondition and postcondition.
Compare/contrast postcondition and exception condition.
Compare/contrast business process and flow of activities for a use case. Explain how an activity diagram can be used to model both.
What is the purpose of an SSD? What symbols are used in an SSD?
What are the steps required to develop an SSD?
Write a complete SSD message from the actor to the system, with the actor asking the system to begin the process for updating information about a specific product.
