Hi there,
1/do Actors in use case refer only to humans or can they also refer to objects like Account, Phone, Invoice....
Or is an actor strictly a human who performs action in the system
2/ is here the right place to ask questions about design, uml..etc or is there another place in this forum
Thank you
Hi,
1. An actor is either a person or something that interacts with the system (for example - an external system that sends requests). An Account is more of a business entity than an actor.
2. I guess it's a good place as any. Also you might want to try the modeling forum (id 229).
Best of luck,
Ido.
