Abstract:

As conceptual models become increasingly significant in software engineering, a systematic approach for realizing them arises. A use case model is a conceptual model that underscores typical interactions between actors and the software system under development. This paper presents a stepby-step approach, namely POUCMP, for realizing use case models using experiential knowledge that manifests itself as patterns. The significance of the role of people in conducting POUCMP is highlighted. The limitations and directions for improvement of POUCMP are given.
