Guiding the Construction of Textual Use Case Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approach for guiding the construction of use case specifications is presented. A use case specification comprises contextual information of the use case, its change history, the complete graph of possible pathways, attached requirements and open issues. The proposed approach delivers a use case specification as an unambiguous natural language text. This is done by a stepwise and guided process which progressively transforms initial and partial natural language descriptions of scenarios into well structured, integrated use case specifications. The basis of the approach is a set of linguistic patterns and linguistic structures. The former constitutes the deep structure of the use case specification whereas the latter corresponds to the surface structures. The paper presents the use case model, the linguistic basis and the guided process along with the associated guidelines and support rules. The process is illustrated with the automated teller machine (ATM) case study.

Use case modeling, including use case diagrams and use case specifications, is commonly applied to structure and document requirements. Use case specifications are usually structured, textual documents complying with a certain use case template. However, because use case specifications remain essentially textual, ambiguity is inevitably introduced. In this paper, we propose a use case modeling ...
