You're looking for anything that lives outside of your application, but interacts with it to accomplish some goal. - Sometimes identifying the actors is straightforward. If we were building a simple single player video game, then there could be just one actor, the player. - However, something like the space microwave that we're designing could have multiple people interacting with it to accomplish different goals. Thinking about their different job titles or departments can also prompt ideas for use case scenarios. As we're brainstorming, we'll use stick figures to represent each of the possible human actors for our application. - [Man] Well, the spaceship will have several astronauts on board that need to use the space microwave to eat, the mission commander, the pilot, and the flight engineer, and back on Earth, Mission Control will want to monitor the status of the…
