UML Case Advice

Hi…this is my first post…I hope this works out! I’ve been handed down requirements for a project involving reading data from a machine and displaying various stats on a website.
My problem is that a lot of the requirements specify equipment and software(FTP server, SQL server). Now, isn’t the general rule of thumb to exclude “HOW TO DO” from your use-case diagram?
Should I include details of database and ftp server in my use case diagram?
Thanks.

Hi Agent Smash,

Thanks for your post. Use case is for specifying the user’s goal which does not involved any architecture. You can use a note for the use case to specify the details of the database if you want.

If there is any further inquiries, please feel free to ask.
