1.6 A Use Case is Started By an Actor
    Back Next

    The actor starts the use case because it wants something from the system so:

    Name the use case in terms of the outcome of value to the actor
    Begin the use case name with an active verb
    The actor supplies the event that starts the use case
    The actor is the source of the incoming event that is the first line in the use case
    The arrow indicates that the actor starts the interaction between the actor and the use case
    This actor is then the 'active' or 'primary' actor for the use case
