{"product_id":"use-cases-requirements-in-context","title":"Use Cases: Requirements in Context","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book describes how to gather and define software requirements using a process based on use cases. It shows systems analysts and designers how use cases can provide solutions to the most challenging requirements issues  resulting in effective  quality systems that meet the needs of users. Use Cases  Second Edition: Requirements in Context describes a three-step method for establishing requirementsan iterative process that produces increasingly refined requirements. Drawing on their extensive  real-world experience  the authors offer a wealth of advice on use-case driven lifecycles  planning for change  and keeping on track. In addition  they include numerous detailed examples to illustrate practical applications. This second edition incorporates the many advancements in use case methodology that have occurred over the past few years. Specifically  this new edition features major changes to the methodologys iterations  and the section on management reflects the faster-paced  more \"chaordic\" software lifecycles prominent today. In addition  the authors have included a new chapter on use case traceability issues and have revised the appendixes to show more clearly how use cases evolve. The book opens with a brief introduction to use cases and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). It explains how use cases reduce the incidence of duplicate and inconsistent requirements  and how they facilitate the documentation process and communication among stakeholders. The book shows you how to: Describe the context of relationships and interactions between actors and applications using use case diagrams and scenarios Specify functional and nonfunctional requirements Create the candidate use case list Break out detailed use cases and add detail to use case diagrams Add triggers  preconditions  basic course of events  and exceptions to use cases Manage the iterative\/incremental use case driven project lifecycle Trace back to use cases  nonfunctionals  and business rules Avoid classic mistakes and pitfalls The book also highlights numerous currently available tools  including use case name filters  the context matrix  user interface requirements  and the authors own \"hierarchy killer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964564074549,"sku":"ByrdShop_0321154983","price":28.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780321154989.jpg?v=1770466416","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/use-cases-requirements-in-context","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
