FAQs about this Template
-
How does the include relationship work in this diagram?
The include relationship between booking a ticket and making a payment means that payment is a mandatory step. You cannot complete a ticket reservation without successfully processing the payment through the system. This ensures that every confirmed seat in the cinema is paid for, which maintains financial accuracy for the theater and prevents empty seat losses during high demand.

What is the difference between a GuestUser and a Registered User?
A GuestUser can only search for movies and view showtimes without logging in. They are essentially browsing the catalog. A Registered User has a profile and can actually book or cancel tickets. The system requires users to register and log in to handle sensitive transaction data and manage personal booking histories effectively and securely for the user.

Why is the Admin actor separated from the standard User?
The Admin actor has unique permissions that regular customers do not possess. Admins manage the movie list and schedule showtimes for the entire theater. They also monitor user activity to ensure the platform runs smoothly. Separating these roles in the use case diagram helps developers implement proper access control and security protocols for the backend system and database management.
