Course Synopsis

It is recognized today that use cases provide a valuable alternative to traditional methods for organizing and describing functional requirements. In particular, use cases allow for more effective communication between the user and technical communities thus helping ensure requirements are universally agreed upon. From the analyst's perspective, use cases are advantageous as they are able to model the entire business process, providing the necessary documentation to identify the system's interactions with the business goals, rules and business-level decisions.

This course frames the process of discovering use cases, beginning with finding the actors, the scope and the various relationships between them. It gives you access to the resourceful nature of the use case by focusing on users' needs and how the system will help satisfy those needs, at the same time providing traceability from requirements to specifications to the product.

You will leave this course prepared to perform the proper tasks to create, document and review use cases to drive systems development. The same discipline can be applied to modeling the business using use cases.

Reminder : Prior to taking this course, you should have acquired the background as taught in Introduction to Business Analysis and How to Gather and Document User Requirements .
