ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -Dramatis personae (Latin: ‘persons of the drama’) are the main characters in a dramatic work written in a list. Such lists are commonly employed in various forms of theatre, and also on screen. Typically, off-stage characters are not considered part of the dramatis personae.

Detailed explanation-2: -In other words, personas represent fictitious people which are based on your knowledge of real users. You’re likely familiar with actors. Unlike actors, personas are not roles which people play. In use case modeling actors represent the roles that users, and even other systems, can take with respect to your system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Actor: The ‘owner’ of the user story. This is often a user but it is recommended to be more specific here. By using specific actors (e.g. “Administrator", “Logged in Customer", “Unauthenticated visitor") it’s easier to understand and sets the user story into context.

Detailed explanation-4: -Personas are fictional characters, which you create based upon your research in order to represent the different user types that might use your service, product, site, or brand in a similar way. Creating personas helps the designer to understand users’ needs, experiences, behaviors and goals.

Detailed explanation-5: -When the project calls for it – for instance when user experience is a major factor in project outcomes – the team crafts detailed, synthetic biographies of fictitious users of the future product: these are called “personas”. (In Alan Cooper’s concise terms: “make up pretend users and design for them”.)
