UMLR — Location: 18.2 Classifier Descriptions Use Case Constraints. 697 - Need stricter limit on associations

  • Key: UMLR-505
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18081
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Soluta.net ( Adriano Comai)
  • Summary:

    current text (688): UseCases may have other Associations and Dependencies to other Classifiers (e.g., to denote input/output, events, and behaviors

    [AC] I believe here one or more constraints are missing. The associations an Actor can have are correctly constrained (see page 694) to be only with UseCase, Class and Component.
    A UseCase, in my opinion and in the whole literature that I know, can only have associations with Actors (while it can have other types of relationship, such as dependencies with other classifiers).
    If I am right, then also what is written on page 688 - “UseCases may have other Associations and Dependencies to other Classifiers (e.g., to denote input/output, events, and behaviors).” - should be corrected.
