Tutorial on the Art of Creating Use Cases

Requirements Engineering | September 25, 2004 | 0 comments

Looking for an in-depth tutorial on how to create good Use Cases? I wish I had access to the slides for the tutorial titled “The Art of Writing Use Cases” given by Rebecca J. Wirfs-Brock and John A. Schwartz at OOPSLA 2002 when I was a tutor for “SOEN 282: Software Requirements” at university. It covers everything from the basics of writing simple use cases to more complex concepts like errors, exceptions, inheritance and policies.

The first 51 pages of the PDF are just a copy of the slides from their presentation and then starting on page 53 it starts again from the beginning of the tutorial but this time the presenter’s notes are alongside the slides. If you really want to get down in dirty into Use Cases I recommend you just start reading on page 53 since everything before that is re-covered. I wish I had someone point that out to me before I read the first 51 pages :-).

Get the tutorial here.
