Use Case- Paths/ Flows

Use Case- Paths/ Flows


● Basic path  successful 
● Alternate path  successful  

● Exceptional path  unsuccessful 
● Error path  unsuccessful   

Basic path successful ​ ​
The main flow of events describes a single path through the system. It specifies the interactions between the actor and the system for an ideal condition. It represents the most common way that the use case plays out successfully and contains the most common sequence of user-system interactions.
  
Alternate path successful​  ​
An alternate flow is a series of actions other than the basic flow that results in a user completing his or her goal. Often, It is considered to be an optional flow. It means that the user has chosen to take an alternative path through the system.
  
Exceptional path unsuccessful​  ​
An exceptional flow is any action that will cause the Actor to not to complete or achieve the desired result. Exception flows represent an undesirable path to the user. However, even though the exception flow has occurred the system should still react in a way that recovers the flow and provides some useful information to the user. 

Error path unsuccessful​  
​An error flow is any action that will cause the Actor to not complete or achieve the desired result.this is a failure path here the reasons behind the failure is unknown.
