Notes This part describes the possible scenarios of the use case. The scenarios should comply with the sequence diagrams in Sect. 2 of the template, so that every step describes one part of a communication or action. Apart from a normal success scenario, different failure scenarios or alternatives can be included to describe situations where preconditions are not satisfied or unwanted states are attained.
- Primary Actor - the first actor appearing in the scenario at the incident causing the scenario to begin.
- Triggering Event - the incident causing the scenario to begin.
- Pre-Condition - indicates which terms have to be fulfilled for the scenario to be executed.
- Post-Condition - indicates which terms should be valid after the scenario. TIt can also specify whether a scenario has been successfully completed or not.
