Writing Effective Use Cases, Paperback / softback Book

Writing Effective Use Cases Paperback / softback

Part of the Agile Software Development Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Use cases have never been this easy to understand -- or this easy to create!

In Writing Effective Use Cases, Alistair Cockburn offers a hands-on, soup-to-nuts guide to use case development, based on the proven concepts he has refined through years of research, development, and seminar presentations.

Cockburn begins by answering the most basic questions facing anyone interested in use cases: "What does a use case look like?

When do I write one?" Next, he introduces each key element of use cases: actors, stakeholders, design scope, goal levels, scenarios, and more.

Writing Effective Use Cases contains detailed guidelines, formats, and project standards for creating use cases -- as well as a detailed chapter on style, containing specific do's and don'ts.

Cockburn shows how use cases fit together with requirements gathering, business processing reengineering, and other key issues facing software professionals.

The book includes practice exercises with solutions, as well as a detailed appendix on how to use these techniques with UML.

For all application developers, object technology practitioners, software system designers, architects, and analysts.
