Summary
This intensive, hands-on course addresses the requirements analysis process by applying Use Case modeling techniques. Through a series of lectures and lab exercises, course attendees will thoroughly explore designing and developing Use Cases and using them to gather and analyze requirements.

This course can be taught with or without a visual modeling tool such as Rational Rose or Visio although no specific training is provided on these tools.

Prerequisites
Participants should be familiar with the basics of analysis and design and the software development lifecycle.

Course Objectives
After completing this course, participants should be able to:
  • Describe the requirements analysis process, industry standards, and best practices
  • Apply Use Case modeling to define business and system requirements
  • Develop Use Case models
  • Explain the components of a Use Case
  • Explain how Use Cases drive design, development, testing, and documentation activities
  • Apply Use Case modeling for change and scope management during the lifecycle of a project
  • Describe the tools that can be used for Use Case modeling

Intended Audience
This course may prove useful to people such as business Analysts, Business Users, System/Software Analysts, Software Designers, and anyone else who is involved in requirements capture, specification, use, or management.

Length
1 day

Format
Instructor-led course, with written exercises and interactive activities.
