Use Case Development
This three-day workshop provides instruction in the writing, revising
and utilization of use cases in software development, reinforcing
the training with hands-on experience in use case and scenario design
and creation.
The techniques and experiences acquired in this course are useful
in any development environment, object-oriented or not, in which
use cases play a part.
Audience
Analysts, designers, developers, system testers, and project managers/management
involved in software development
Prerequisites
Previous exposure to use cases helpful, but not required
Requirements and/or analysis experience helpful, but not required
