UseCase Description is supported in both Astah Professional and Astah UML editions.

To create one, select UseCase in the Structure Tree or Diagram Editor and click [Open UseCase Description].


























Astah has the three following template sets for UseCase Description.

1. Astah Built-in template (Default)












2. Complete Format by Alistair Cockburn (Based on effective UseCase templates methodology presented by Alistair Cockburn, who has given us an endorsement: Testimonials)












3. RUP(Rational Unified Process) Style











You are able to switch the template;
1) Go to [Tool] - [Set Template] - [UseCase Description]













2) Select one you want to use, and then click [Apply]








You are also able to create your own template, import one someone else created or export what you have to share with others. I will write about this in next post.

Cheers,
SJ
