Storyboards are illustrations that represent shots that ultimately represent a story. In UX this stroy illustrates the series of actions that users need to take while using the product. Translating functionalities into real-life situations, helps designers create empathy with the user.
A use case is a written description of how users will perform tasks in your app. It outlines, from a user’s point of view, an app’s behavior as it responds to a request. Each use case is represented as a sequence of simple steps, beginning with a user’s goal and ending when that goal is fulfilled.

Survey is a quick way to collect information from a large number of users but their obvious limitation is lack of any interaction between the researcher and the users.

A visual guide that represents the page structure, as well as its hierarchy and key elements. Wireframes are useful when UX designers need to discuss ideas with team members/stakeholders, and to assist the work of visual designers and developers.
A collaborative collection of images and references that will eventually evolve into a product’s visual style guide. Moodboard allows UX desigenrs to show stakeholders and teammates a proposed look for the product before investing too much time or money on it.
