TRW Use Case Workshop

 

The goal of the use case workshop is to give TRW developers and IT personnel a broad introduction to use cases. We will base our treatment of used cases on Alistair Cockburn's book, Writing Effective Use Cases. Use case diagrams are based on Ivar Jacobson's Object Oriented Software Engineering. This workshop is only an introduction, and for a thorough treatment of use cases, see these sources themselves as well as the links provided.

Upon completion of the workshop, you should be able to understand and create a simple use case diagram, actor-goal table, system-in-use story, and use cases with appropriate scenarios. You will also understand the proper uses of each of these tools.
