===== Use-Case =====
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

  : //A **Use-Case** is a description of how a system responds to a request from an external source. This is written with reference to the technical steps that happen for the task to be completed.//

===== Why are Use-Cases important? =====

  : //Use-Cases are important, because they will show how systems respond when they are used. A Use-Case describes how a system helps a user achieve their [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:g:goal|goal]]. Unlike a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:u:uscenario|user scenario]], a Use-Case is more orientated towards the system’s behavior rather than the user. The language in which a Use-Case is written should be simple and the writer of a Use-Case should avoid technical terminology. A Use-Case should not include too much context about the user or their emotional response to an interaction.//

===== The purpose of Use-Cases =====

 : //In a Use-Case a list of goals can be defined and an analysis can be made of how complex and expensive it is for these goals to be met. In team projects, Use-Cases are useful to see which areas of a system need to be developed and what obstacles could arise in performing a task.//
