Have you found all the actors
Is each actor involved with at least one use case
| If you cannot identify a use case associated with a given actor perhaps the actor should be removed, or perhaps you are
missing a use case. |
Can you identify at least two people, or external systems, that would play the role of a particular actor
| If you cannot, check if the role that the actor represents is part of another actor. If that is the case, you should
merge the actors. |
Will a particular actor use the system in several completely different ways
If true, you should probably have more than one actor.
|
Does the actor have several completely different purposes for using the system
| If true, there may be more than one actor. |
Have you considered maintenance and administrative roles
| It is common to focus on the daily users of the system, and forget about administrative and maintenance roles such as
setting up user accounts, managing access rights, performing backups, etc. Ensure you have captured these actors. |
Does each actor have a clear description of its role
| Each actor should have a short description of the role and the main goal the actor has in using the system. |
