Use Case Diagram

This document discusses use case diagrams and their components. A use case diagram shows the system or application, actors that interact with the system, and basic flows of what the system does. It communicates complex ideas simply. The key components of a use case diagram are: the system rectangle, actor stick figures, use case ovals, and relationship lines between components. Relationships indicate interactions between actors and the system or use cases.
