Advanced Use Case Modeling

Use Cases for Large-Scale Software Development Projects

This 1-day class is intended to equip product owners and requirement engineers with the skills they need to successfully apply use-case modeling to the requirements management of large, or out-sourced, projects and programs. Throughout the class, common problems and their solutions will be explored.

Training info

Course overview

The course includes detailed instruction in the use of the use-case relationships used to structure large, complex and re-usable use-case models, and a detailed examination of the system of systems pattern that lies, at the heart of the application of use cases to systems engineering and the development of very large systems. The course was developed by Ian Spence, co-author of the best-selling use case book ‘Use-Case Modeling’ (Addison Wesley, 2003).

Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will understand:

  • how to start the use-case modeling process regardless of the size or scale of project being undertaken

  • how to apply use cases to systems-of-systems

  • how to apply use cases for packaged systems development and re-engineering legacy systems

  • how to apply use cases in an out-sourced environment

  • how to apply the use-case modelling technique recursively to simplify complex requirements problems

  • how to recognize and avoid the most common use-case model related anti-patterns

  • when and where to use optional features such as include and extend

Topics Covered

Structuring the use-case model, including:

  • How to use include and extend effectively

  • How to use use-case generalization

  • Common use-case patterns and anti-patterns

  • Use-case modeling for large scale systems development

  • Use-case modeling for packaged systems development

  • Use-case modeling for replacement systems

  • Use-case modeling for out-sourced projects

  • The system of systems pattern

  • Treating reusable components as products

  • Product line engineering for application families

Other course info
Audience 

Product owners, Business analysts, Systems analysts, Customer representatives, Requirements managers and Requirement engineers.

Pre-requisites 

Prior to attending this course the students must possess at least 3 months experience with use cases.

Exam details 

Attendees will be offered the opportunity to take the Use-Case 2.0 Certification Quiz. Those passing will receive Use-Case 2.0 Practitioner Certification in addition to the course attendance certificate. Successful attendees will be entered on to the IJI Certification register which can be used for future career verification of knowledge of use cases and Use-Case 2.0.
