Discovering Requirements with Use Cases

ABSTRACT

The theory and practice of using ‘use cases’ to define the functionality of software systems. Gain a thorough understanding of common requirements and use case pitfalls/challenges, practical approaches for discovering and writing use cases and project requirements, and strategies for applying the use case methodology throughout the project life cycle. Exercises analyzing and writing use cases are hands-on.
