Method Enhancement with Scenario Based Techniques

Scenarios have proven useful to elicit, validate and document requirements but cannot be used in isolation. Our concern in this paper is to integrate scenario-based techniques in existing methods. We propose a set of operators to support such an integration. This set is classified in two sub-sets: the one dealing with the integration of the product models of the two initial methods and the one concerned with the integration of their process models. The operators are used to integrate the CREWS-L'Ecritoire approach with the OOSE method. This leads to enhance the use case model construction of the OOSE method with on one hand, the linguistic techniques for scenario authoring and formalisation and on the other hand, the discovery strategies to elicit requirements by scenario analysis of the CREWS-L'Ecritoire approach.
