Development Use Case

I. Actors

• Developer

• Project Manager

• Tester

II. Preconditions

• Project requirements are defined and approved.

• Development environment is set up.

• Design documents are available.

III. Basic Flow

1. Project Manager assigns a task to the Developer.

2. Developer reviews the task requirements and design documents.

3. Developer sets up the necessary development environment.

4. Developer writes code to implement the task requirements.

5. Developer performs unit testing to ensure the code works as expected.

6. Developer commits the code to the version control system.

7. Developer updates the task status in the project management tool.

8. Tester retrieves the code from the version control system.

9. Tester performs integration testing and logs any bugs found.

10. Developer fixes any bugs reported by the Tester and commits the updates.

11. Tester verifies the fixes and marks the task as completed.

12. Project Manager reviews the task completion and closes it.

IV. Alternative Flows

If additional requirements are discovered mid-task:

1. Developer reports the new requirements to the Project Manager.

2. Project Manager reviews and approves the changes.

3. Developer updates the code accordingly and continues as per the Basic Flow.

If a critical bug is found during integration testing:

1. Tester reports the critical bug to the Developer.

2. Developer prioritizes the bug fix over other ongoing tasks.

3. Developer fixes the critical bug and commits the changes.

4. Tester retests the critical bug fix.

5. Once fixed, the flow continues from step 10 of the Basic Flow.

V. Postconditions

• Task is marked as completed in the project management tool.

• Code is merged into the main branch of the version control system.

• Task is reviewed and closed by the Project Manager.

VI. Special Requirements

• All code must adhere to the project’s coding standards and guidelines.

• Unit tests must cover at least 80% of the new code.

• Integration testing must be thorough with no critical bugs remaining open.

VII. Assumptions

• Developers have the necessary skills and knowledge to complete the tasks assigned.

• Project Manager actively monitors task progress.

• Tools for version control, project management, and testing are functioning correctly.
