Budget Analyst Interview Question:

Explain me the difference between an alternate flow and an exception flow of a use case?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Alternate flow are the alternative actions that can be performed apart for the basic flow and might be considered as an optional flow whereas Exception flow is the path traversed in case of the error or an exception being thrown. For e.g. on a logic page the ‘Forgot password' is the alternate flow and system showing ‘404 error' when correct username and password are entered is exception flow.
