Résumé

Many projects struggle to define what the software is supposed to do, and endusers often find that the final product does not do what they expect. Use cases allow analysts to identify the required features of a software system based on how each enduser will use the system. This efficient and straightforward analysis process gives endusers direct input into the design of the system that will serve them.

Applying Use Cases provides a practical and clear introduction to developing use cases, demonstrating their use via a continuing case study. Using the Rational Software Development Process as a framework and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for the notation, the authors step the reader through applying use cases in the different phases of the process, focusing on where and how use cases are applied.

Other highlights include:

A collection of realistic examples showing how to apply use cases, drawn from the authors' extensive experience in this area
A case study that offers insight into the common mistakes and pitfalls that can plague an object-oriented project
An illustration of the new 1998 UML notation for diagramming use cases
A practical "how-to" discussion on applying use cases to identify system requirements
