Question 13

In a use case, which is one of the two commonly used relationships?

  • A. Inherit
  • B. Identify
  • C. Distribute
  • D. Extend
Answer:

D


Explanation:
There are two commonly used relationships between use cases:
Extend:allows for the insertion of additional behavior into a use case. The use case that is being
extended must be completely functional in its own right and must not depend on the extending use
case for its successful execution. This relationship may be used to show that an alternate flow has
been added to an existing use case (representing new requirements).
Include:allows for the use case to make use of functionality present in another use case. The
included use case does not need to be a complete use case in its own right if it is not directly
triggered by an actor. This relationship is most often used either when some shared functionality is
required by several use cases or to abstract out a complex piece of logic.
