Initial Context

A Craig Larman Method is carried out to develop a software system, and it has been created a sequence diagrams of system use cases.

Result Context

It has been created a detailed description of each of the activities represented in the system sequence diagram.

Problem

It has been generated the sequence diagrams system of the use case of a software system that is being developed using the Craig Larman Method, however, it wanted to be detailed each of the activities represented on it sequence diagrams system to prevent ambiguities in implementation.
