Overview

 

TopTeam automatically converts the text of Use Case Flow-of-events into an easy-to-understand Swimlane Diagram.

 

 

To visualize Use Cases using the Swimlane Diagram, follow these steps:

 

Go to the Flow Diagram Tab on the Use Case editor.

 

use-case-editor-flow-diagram-tab

 

 

Choose Swimlane Diagram Vertical or Swimlane Diagram Horizontal from the Diagram Type dropdown list. You can choose from horizontal or vertical representation of the swimlanes.

As soon as you navigate to the Flow Diagram tab, TopTeam parses the text of the Use Case Flow and automatically generates a visual representation of the Use Case steps in the form of the Swimlane Diagram.
