Use Cases Overview¶
The following use cases represent the kinds of interaction users may have with Truffle and other tools. These use cases serve to help validate proposals for changes to Truffle’s artifact format.
These use cases are written primarily for Truffle, as the primary producer and consumer of artifacts, but should apply generally for any and all tooling for smart contract / decentralized application development.
Since the process to develop and deploy decentralized applications can include many participants, these use cases refer to several different user profiles:
- Smart Contract Developer
- Frontend Developer
- Business Stakeholder
- Auditor
Not all of these users interact with development tooling directly, or in the same ways. As such, these use cases should specify appropriately.
This list may not be exhaustive, but should cover the vast majority of required behaviors.
Diagram Legend¶
This document uses UML Use Case Diagrams rendered with PlantUML.
The following conventions are used throughout:
Use cases may include others, in that in order to achieve one type of behavior, another is required.
Use cases may extend others, indicating that one use case is a specific form of another. Where it is not indicated, user interactions with base use cases also imply user interaction with extensions.
