But Jacobson provides a good overview on modern use case analysis, and here you can find some useful advices. To go farther you really need to get a good book, for example Bittner & Spence (table of content) which is still a very good investment.
Oct 31, 2020 at 9:32 comment added Christophe @AhmedAlhallag 1) yes this would be correct (it doesn't show that both use-cases are related, but this is not a problem since it's a use-case diagram and not a process analysis diagram). 2) «extends» means it's optional and if you start to think about sequence, you're no longer in a use-case analysis.
Oct 31, 2020 at 9:01 comment added Ahmed Alhallag Thank you @Christophie ! A couple of follow-ups (I'm still learning about the manner so excuse me naive questions): 1) regarding A, If i left the two use cases (Admin:Process refunds, Customer:Request refund) but removed the association line between them, would this be considered correct ? 2) if I removed place order and made the "pay with credit" extends on "process shipping instructions" (which makes 'pay with credit' the final sequence), would this be considered correct ? 3) can you recommend any online sources/books on the difference between use cases and functional decomposition?
