Sorry for being dense, but when I looked at that post, I could not see where to download his *.EAP file?

Thanks,

Uml Process / Re: Use Case Descriptions

Thanks to sargasso and thomaskilian for their responses so far...

I guess my main question is, per quote from Captain_Ding_Dong:

>Should there be a number of different paths (branching,
>conditionals etc) possible through the use case, these
>are represented by a different senario.

So per my example of 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 branches, should I document all 24 scenarios using the UseCase -> Scenarios GUI dialog?

If yes, then the UseCase -> Scenarios GUI dialog seems to only support one level and does not support multiple levels of branches/conditionals (except for the numbering scheme "1.2.3.4" as suggested earlier).

Okay...If each scenario represents one path through the use case, what is the fewest number of different scenarios I need to document for the following use case?

Use Case: One person taking Delta Airlines from San Diego to New York City.

Suppose Delta has 2 different fares ($300, $600). Each fare has 3 different take off times from San Diego.  Each take off time has 4 different connecting flights before reaching New York city.

Do I need to document all 24 scenarios in the "UseCase element"?  Or can I somehow list sub-scenarios (take off time, connecting flight) under the two main scenarios (fares)?

Main scenario 1: $300
 Sub Scenario 1a: 10AM
   Sub Scenario 1a1: Atlanta
   Sub Scenario 1a2: Denver
   Sub Scenario 1a3: Chicago
   Sub Scenario 1a4: Detroit
 Sub Scenario 1b: 2PM
   Sub Scenario 1a1: St. Louis
   Sub Scenario 1a2: Atlanta
   .....
Main scenario 2: $600
