ABOUT THE WEBINAR 



Use cases are an effective and widely used technique for eliciting software requirements. The use-case approach focuses on the goals that users have with a system, rather than emphasizing system functionality. This webinar presents an overview of the use-case approach to requirements elicitation in a practical and straightforward fashion.

Topics covered include:



· Where use cases fit into the requirements development process



· Types of projects for which use cases are and are not well suited



· User classes and actors



· Scenarios and use cases



· Components of a use case



· Use case diagrams



· Deriving functional requirements from use cases

Really enjoyed the presentation. Would like to see something similar that focuses on a more agile approach e.g. how to take input from Use Cases (agile stories) and write "just enough" SRS content.

Nice presentation and very useful. I just introduced use cases to a BA team I work in and they warmed up to it :)

You stressed that use cases are used to capture what goals a user wants to accomplish from a system. In the template you used, why did you need to document the system response to an actor actions? Wont that end up describing the user interface and making the user think more of what they want the system to do and less of their own goals?

@Ikenna: At the very top level of abstraction, yes, the use case simply states the goal the user is trying to accomplish. However, a richer description of the use case provides additional information regarding the way a user might interact with a system to accomplish that goal. This is the information that leads to deriving the functional requirements that developers must implement to let the user perform the use case. That conceptual description of the dialogue between the user and the system also does lead to user interface design. After all, that information has to come from somewhere. However, the description of the use case should not include specific UI details. As I mentioned in the webinar, I don't even like to use terms like "User clicks on OK" in the use case description, preferring to keep it more abstract so the UI designer is not overly constrained.
