Using a 'breadth-first-search' technique gradually build each use case end-to-end, by repeatedly going through the use case gradually adding more and more detail to each element of it (rather than getting each part perfect before more on to the next part of the use case. The key part in using this approach is to focus on each step. There is a temptation to try and do it all in one pass, but the problem is that everybody makes mistakes when creating use cases, and the more times you iterate through the use case, the more likely you are to catch the mistakes and fix them before the project gets out of hand. In building the major use cases, follow the four-step process: 1. Identify the use cases. Note: I have provided hints to scope each use case. 2. Identify the steps within them. 3. Identify the elements within the steps. 4. Confirm the use cases. You work for Northern Consulting Group Inc. and you have been assigned to develop uses cases using the Northern Consulting Group's Use Case Template. Create the use cases for the following high-level requirements in a housing system run by the Campus Housing Service: The Campus Housing Service helps students find apartments and apartment owners to add or remove an apartment's availability in the housing service. Owners of apartments fill in an online web form about the rental units they have available (e.g., location, number of bedrooms, monthly rent), and when submitted are stored in a database. Students can search through this database using an online search form to find apartments that meet their needs (e.g., a two-bedroom apartment for $800 or less per month within 2km of the campus).
