Scenario
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:58:53 pm »
Hello,

I have question about writting scenarios for two Use Case. I have two Use Case in both I wrote some scenario. How can i 'Join' step from Use Case 1 in Use Case 2 ? When I generate Activity Diagram I would like to see scenarios from both use cases in the same diagram with transition between two use cases.



Thanks for any help.

You can't, you can only join steps from your own scenario's, not from other scenario's.

If you need something like that you'll probably need extension points and use cases extending each other.

Or even better two use cases with an include relationship where one use case executes the other. (and then continues)

I discourage the use of structured scenarios since the do not support nesting alternates. Use plain text instead and orient yourself at Cockburn or Bittner in writing use cases.
