Categories: Use Cases


Answer:
 
An actor is someone or something that interacts with the system by sending or receiving messages or information to and from the system. Primary actors initiate the interaction with the system. Secondary actors do not initiate the interaction with the system but participate in one or more use cases of the system, often providing information back to the system.
 
Use case actors can be identified by asking a number of questions:
  • Who will use the system to support their daily work?
  • Who will maintain, administer, or configure the system?
  • Who will use the output, information, or reports from the system?
  • What systems or services will require information for the system?
  • What systems or services will provide information to the system?

Do your homework prior to the business analysis interview!

Having an idea of the type of questions you might be asked during a business analyst interview will not only give you confidence but it will also help you to formulate your thoughts and to be better prepared to answer the interview questions you might get during the interview for a business analyst position.  Of course, just memorizing a list of business analyst interview questions will not make you a great business analyst but it might just help you get that next job.
