Best way to document extension points location in use cases 

Hi,

What is the best way to capture extension points location in use case modeling?. Is it better to use location in terms of step number outsideof the base use case or as "some state" of use case out side of the base use case or as a tag inside the base use case.

Thanks,

PG

Hi Praveenhg,

This question seems to assume there is a single best way and of course there isn't: the people who supply you with the information to analyse the use cases and those who are going to use the products of your analysis should tell you what is the best way for them. 

Why not give them the options and see what they like best. If the people who supply you with information and those who use your analysis based on that information are agreeing the best way then you have defined the best way for your work.

Hope this helps.

Guy

In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
