 Use cases are clustered around the same broad categories as the [[Functional requirements|functional requirements]]. Like the latter, use cases are organized hierarchy with high-level scenarios broken down into more specific tests (sub- and sub-sub-cases). To facilitate cross-references and links, each case has been assigned an alpha-numeric code: the alpha prefix designates its type (UC = use case), the number establishes its position in the hierarchy. Six main use cases have been identified:
-*[[USC-1 | USC-1 Implement a system of control]]
