About this use case diagram for shopping cart

The listed diagram shows a use case for an Online Shopping Management System. The use cases mainly highlight the functionalities of a customer's Shopping cart. The use cases for this diagram include the different aspects a customer might want to explore when adding an item to their cart such as View Cart, Update Quantity, Remove Item, and Add Item.

The most basic functionality a customer may wish to explore would be to see the items he has added to his cart so far, making sure it includes all the items he intended to buy are present in the right quantities, this is implemented using the use case “View Cart”.

Once the customer has seen the cart, he might want to update the quantity of some of the products and goods he bought as per their requirements, this can be done by just the click of button or simply inputting the desired quantity using the use case “Update Quantity”.

Now there might also be a case where the customer might have added something by mistake, naturally, he would want to remove that item for the mere fact that it’s not what he wants, so he must be allowed to remove it easily, a functionality accomplished by the use case “Remove Item”.

If the customer has forgotten something or wants to add an item because they just removed an item and it cleared up some budget, they are allowed to do so freely using the use case “Add Item”.
