This training course teaches business and system
analysts how to produce a detailed outside-in model of computer system requirements using use
cases within the context of a model-driven
software development process. A strict best practice approach to writing effective use cases
ensures that the results satisfy the
|
needs of both non-technical and technical stakeholders. The gains that defining requirements
with use cases brings to estimation, traceability, test development and project management is
discussed. Understanding is tested and improved with exercises based on a real-world
example on paper or using using a suitable case tool. |
| Delegates will learn |
- How to create a first cut overview of functional requirements with actors and use cases on a use case diagram
- How to write an effective use case description in a way that satisfies both non-technical and technical stakeholders
- How to specify the flow of events as a basic flow and alternate flows
- How to restructure the use case diagram to handle complex relationships between use cases without bloating the use case model
- How to integrate the use case model with non-functional requirements, data requirements, business rules and screen prototyping
- How a use case driven approach to requirements gathering improves estimation, project planning, test development and traceability
