ConceptsUse cases have proven to be a very powerful technique for gathering detailed requirements. Specifically, Use Cases help derive details on interactions between the system and all types of users and other external entities interacting with it. These details are equally important for the development team and the test team in order to deliver a high quality system. Although many projects have used some form of Use Cases, few projects reap the full benefits of this powerful technique because they do not know how to hierarchically integrate essential business level use cases with detailed, interface specific, concrete use cases and then systematically derive test cases from the use case hierarchy. The role of use cases in the requirements process is examined, and best practices explored. Use cases are an official part of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) - a specification maintained by the OMG. We will examine the official UML specification of a use case and compare it to actual usage in industry. A use case template is presented and sample use cases critiqued.
