Use Case Association
The Use Case Association describes the relationship between an actor and a Use Case. Such an association states that an instance of the Use Case and a user playing one of the roles of the actor communicate. It is drawn as a solid line between the actor and the Use Case. It can have adornments such as multiplicity.
