    well, it really depends on what your program is/does. For instance lets say I have a program that has a functionality to edit users, my use case scenario would something like. scenario name: edit user participating actor instance Joe:Administrator Flow of Events 1- John who works in our company changed phone number, so Joe wants to edit the user to reflect the change. 2- Joe logs on to the system and accesses the user edit function 3- From the view Joe selects John and clicks on 'edit'. 4- Joe modifies edits the phone number and saves the information. 5- The system updates the info, updates the view and takes Joe back to the main view. 6- Joe logs off the system, system saves all views and config and quits. Thats a very simple use case... you have to add constraints, assumptions, in general a use case is how the software would act in any particular situation.
