Usage Scenarios

Hello forum members,

I’ve been looking through the community edition for the equivalent to a “Usage Scenario” as described for example on the Microsoft MSF Process Model.

Or maybe it is not part of the standard UML?

Thanks in advance
Filipe

Hi Filipe,

Thank you for your post. Actually, UML is a standard modeling language which does not specify how you use it. Microsoft MSF Process Model is one of the developing ways to use UML (but Microsoft MSF Process Model is not particularly for UML).

If there are any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hello Lilian,

thanks for your fast answer.
So, does that means that there is no such thing as a “Usage Scenario” object in the VP modelling suite?

I’ve just mentioned Microsoft’s MSF as an example of a process which uses Usage Scenarios, but i found out that it is also very common to other environments.

Thanks
Filipe

Hi Filipe,

Sorry for my late reply. I think you can use the Use Case Diagrams to present your “Usage Scenario” in our product. Below are the links of flash movies and documentations that you may find helpful in modeling the Use Case Diagram, add details and description to the use cases:
