No current Talk conversations about this book. 2451 After reviewing every book I could find on use cases, this is the one that is making it into the office library. Part 1 addresses the different kinds of use case templates and the parts of those templates. Part 2 is a collection of topics related to use cases (including relating use cases to other types of requirements). Part 3 is an executive summary, or a review of the entire book. The text was fun to read, but I expect I will get the most use from the downloadable Word template from the author's website and the list of pass/fail tests for the different template fields in the endpapers. no reviews | add a review

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.KEY TOPICS: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.MARKET:For all application developers, object technology practitioners, software system designers, architects, and analysts.
