Speaker ------- Dr Richard Mitchell, InferData, Austin, TX, USA
Agenda ------ 17:00 - 18:15h Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment.
Abstract --------
Use cases are central to most software development processes based on the modelling language UML. Use cases help specifiers organise system requirements around different kinds of users.
Use cases do not capture business rules. In some development processes, this is a serious weakness. This talk will take a use case and from it develop a model that does capture business rules.
The talk will briefly discuss what kinds of development processes can benefit from modelling, and some of the consequences of persisting with approaches based on use cases.
Bio ---
