# Usecases

* Also known as
  * Services
  * Application
* These should be thin, one usecase class per business flow
  * Avoids broad and fat Usecases
  * Easier to find
  * Simpler to test
  * Reduce amount of dependencies
* All dependencies from outer layers (databases, 3rd party, ui etc) shoul point toward the use cases
  * Thus interfaces should be in the same package/module as the usecase
  * Easier to mock out these dependencies
  * Use case only changes when business rules change, rather than infrastructure does
* Can model domain how we want
  * ie domain driven design
