Hi,
My understanding is that a Use Case is usually a single interaction between Actor and System.
But in my assignment there are some use cases which involve multiple interactions between Actor and system.

For example:
- Actor puts card into ATM
- Actor puts in pin code
- Actor specifies amount
- Actor confirms amount


Some pedants might say this is 4 use cases?

Discuss?

I define a use case as something to accomplish that has business meaning. Therefore the higher level use cases make sense to me. In a real project, the use case is used for communication with the customer. The goal is to take money out of the ATM, not to confirm the amount or whatever else.

Good answer, I agree.
