Edraw contains special shapes and setting for creating Jacobson's Use Case Diagrams. Use case diagrams illustrate how the outside world interacts with elements of the application system. In Edraw Professional, the Jacobson's Use Case template and shapes are in the Software folder. Who can use them and how?
Jacobson's Use Case Symbols
Jacobson's Use Case Symbols include the Jacobson's
analysis model and Jacobson's design model.
Jacobson's analysis model defines three
types of objects in a system: interface objects, entity
objects, and control objects. Jacobson's design model
shows how the system behaves. There are two types of
diagrams under this model: interaction diagrams and
state transition diagrams. Interaction diagrams are
similar to UML's sequence diagrams. State transition
diagrams are like UML statechart diagrams, but Jacobson
also employs a number of unique symbols listed below.
Jacobson's Object-Oriented Software Engineering Ivar Jacobson's Object-Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE) is one of the precursors to the more modern Unified Modeling Language (UML). OOSE includes a requirements, an analysis, a design, an implementation, and a testing model. The relationship between the central use case diagram and the various models is illustrated below.
