True or False: It is always possible and preferable to show all use cases for a system in a single composite use case diagram.

Correct Answer

False

Explanation

Sometimes it is possible to include all interactions in a single composite use case diagram. However, this may be impossible because of the number of use cases — the diagram would become too complex to read. In such cases, you develop several diagrams, each showing related use cases. For example, one diagram for all use cases involving the Medical Receptionist role.
