Use Case Description EXAMPLE [ Use Case Tutorial and Best Practices ] 

A use case description AKA use case specification provides a way to verify that your functional requirements will cover all the bases and take all the possible scenarios into consideration. Need a Use Case Description Example??? Well... you got it! This is a widely used approach to documenting functional requirements, which is why the use case description also makes the list of BABOKs 50 BA techniques. This requirements documentation technique is often paired with its visual counterpart known as the use case diagram. If you want to know the best practices for use case descriptions, check out this video! I'll be presenting an example as well as the main components of the specification including actors (primary and secondary), basic flow, alternate flow, exception flow, scenarios, pre-conditions, post-conditions, and triggers.
