  2. Contents SYS366

  3. Use Case Reviews • Seeks to uncover flaws in use cases • Final review might validate use cases • Involves relevant stakeholders SYS366

  4. Types of Reviews • Informal • Take the form of a walkthough • Can be conducted multiple times in the development cycle to get feedback • Formal • Usually for approval, not for feedback • Often approves the results of the informal review which preceded it SYS366

  5. Walkthoughs • Lead participants through use case step-by-step • Can use storyboards to show steps in user interface dialogs • Gain important feedback from participants • More effective than sending out use cases for review SYS366

  6. When to Hold Reviews • Informal • Often, to get feedback • Part of the iterative development process • Formal • Once, at the end of requirements preparation SYS366

  7. Motivation • Many participants will not want to review use cases or not see the purpose • Motivate them! • Invite only those who need to be there • Explain why their input is needed • Explain the goals and the use case process • Explain what they have to do • Show them what’s in it for them SYS366

  8. Who Should Attend • Use case analysts • Related developers • Testers • People from related business area • No more that 4-7 people in total SYS366

  9. The Review Meeting • Moderator • Chairs the meeting and keeps it on track • Author • The creator of the use case who can provide additional details • Recorder • Takes minutes of the meeting • Participants • Those providing feedback SYS366

  10. Things to Check • Actors and use cases have meaningful names • Use case diagrams convey the main message • Each use case provides value • Actors without use cases and vice versa • No communication between actors SYS366

  11. Interface Issues • Prototypes and storyboards provide feedback on the user interface • Allow interface problems to be detected early • Help participants visualize how the system will work SYS366
