the Use-Case Model Using Rational XDE Developer - Java Platform Edition
Purpose

Overview
This tool mentor assumes that a Use-Case Model, populated with actors and use
cases, has already been created by following the steps outlined in Tool Mentor: Finding Actors and Use Cases Using Rational XDE.
This tool mentor consists of the following steps:
Sharing of common use cases is accomplished by adding relationships between
existing use cases or creating new use cases. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Use-Case Model.
- Navigate to the package containing the use cases. See Rational
XDE Model Structure Guidelines.
- In Tool Mentor: Finding Actors and Use Cases Using
Rational XDE, a use-case diagram was created containing all the use cases
and actors. Navigate to this diagram.
- Refactor the use cases, creating new ones as applicable. The procedure for
creating new use cases using Rational XDE is
described in Tool Mentor: Finding Actors and Use Cases
Using Rational XDE. Detailing these new use cases is described in Tool
Mentor: Detailing a Use Case Using Rational XDE.
- Add relationships between the use cases. The following sections describe
how to add each kind of relationship.
- Document each relationship. See
.
Create additional use-case diagrams and package them as needed to manage the
complexity. See
and
.

- Open the Use-Case Model.
- Navigate to the package containing the actors. See Rational XDE Model Structure Guidelines.
- In Tool Mentor: Finding Actors and Use Cases Using
Rational XDE, a diagram was created to capture all the actors. Open this
diagram.
- Refactor existing actors, and create new actors as applicable. The procedure
for creating actors is explained in Tool Mentor: Finding
Actors and Use Cases Using Rational XDE.
- Add generalizations between actors. See
.
- Optionally document each generalization relationship. See
.
