AI Use Case Scenario Analyzer

Transform your use case descriptions into actionable decision tables with AI.

In the world of software development, moving from a narrative use case description to a structured, comprehensive analysis can be a complex and time-consuming process. The AI Use Case Scenario Analyzer in Visual Paradigm 17.3 is an innovative tool that automates this transformation, providing a clear and actionable decision table that serves as the cornerstone for your project's analysis and testing.

Purpose and Benefits

This intelligent app acts as your analytical partner, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your system's behavior. By automatically identifying and organizing the key elements of a use case, it offers several significant advantages:

  • ✅ Accelerate Analysis: Quickly convert a text-based use case into a structured decision table, saving hours of manual analysis and documentation.
  • ✅ Enhance Clarity: Gain a high-level picture of every possible scenario, along with its specific conditions and outcomes, making it easy to see all paths.
  • ✅ Foundation for Testing: The generated decision matrix is the perfect starting point for creating detailed and comprehensive test cases, ensuring that no scenario is overlooked during quality assurance.
  • ✅ Improve Collaboration: Provide a shared, unambiguous document for developers, testers, and stakeholders, fostering better communication and alignment across teams.

How It Works: Your Path to a Decision Table

The AI Use Case Scenario Analyzer simplifies the process of structured use case analysis into one simple step:

Step 1: Provide the Use Case Description

Select Tools > Apps from the main menu. Locate the "Use Case Scenario Analyzer"" app and click Start Now. Then provide your use case description using one of these options:

  • Enter or paste: Type or paste your use case description directly into the app's large text area.
  • Use AI-Generated Content: Reuse a high-quality use case description produced by the Use Case Description Generator app.

For the best results, your description should include key sections like preconditions, the main flow, and alternative flows. The app also supports markdown formatting for enhanced readability.

Once your description is ready, simply click [Identify Use Case Scenarios   Core Test Cases] to begin the analysis.

Key Outputs: A Comprehensive Decision Table

Upon processing your input, the AI engine performs a detailed analysis to produce three key pieces of information, all presented in a structured, easy-to-read format:

  1. Conditions: A list of all the preconditions and factors that must be considered for the use case. The AI identifies these from your text, either explicitly or through logical inference.
  2. Actions: A list of all the actions and system behaviors that can be performed as part of the use case's main and alternative flows.
  3. Decision Matrix: This is the most comprehensive output, a table that lays out the relationship between scenarios, conditions, and actions.
    • Rows: Each row represents a unique scenario (e.g., "Normal successful withdrawal," "Insufficient account balance").
    • Columns: The columns are divided into the Conditions and Actions identified earlier.
    • Values: A check mark (✅) or cross mark (X) in each cell indicates whether a specific condition is met or an action is executed for that scenario.

This complete decision matrix provides an instant, visual overview of all possible paths a use case can take, giving you the clarity needed for more effective planning and validation.
