Käyttötapauksiksi

Käyttötapauksiksi is a Finnish term that translates to "use cases" in English. It is a concept used in software development, system design, and business analysis to describe how a user or system interacts with a product or service to achieve a specific goal. A use case typically outlines the sequence of actions, inputs, and outputs involved in a particular scenario.

The primary purpose of identifying and documenting use cases is to understand the functional requirements of a system from the user's perspective. By defining what users can and want to do with the system, developers can ensure that the final product meets their needs effectively. Each use case is usually given a descriptive name and a brief summary.

Detailed use case descriptions often include actors (who or what is interacting with the system), preconditions (what must be true before the use case can start), the basic flow of events (the typical sequence of actions), alternative flows (variations on the basic flow), and postconditions (what is true after the use case is completed). Use cases help in planning, designing, testing, and communicating the functionality of a system. They serve as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation.
