“…A popular way to capture and describe those requirements is through the UML Use Case Models (Cruz, Machado & Santos, 2014). It is especially valuable in the context of early size measurement and effort estimation, because it employs use cases as an input (Nageswaran, 2001).…”

“…The business process management is being increasingly used by organizations as a means to improve their products quality and to improve their productivity. With the aim of assuring the alignment between business processes and software requirements, the approaches presented in (Cruz et al, 2014b;Cruz et al, 2015) generate a use case model including use case descriptions based on the information available in a set of interrelated business process models. In the approach being presented here, we intend to use this generated use case model as input to the 4SRS generating the logical architecture and corresponding data model, thus supporting the set of business process models.…”

“…There are some alternatives that can be used to describe a use case, such as informal text, numbered steps or pseudo-code (Cockburn, 2001). The approach presented in (Cruz et al, 2014b) proposes a template simplifying the Cockburn's template, for use cases description. To fill out the use case description template, a set of structured sentences is created in Natural Language (NL).…”

“…To fill out the use case description template, a set of structured sentences is created in Natural Language (NL). The template and the set of sentences were originally designed to support the automatic generation of the use case model and corresponding descriptions based on the existing information in a BPMN model (Cruz et al, 2014b), or a set of BPMN models as described in (Cruz et al, 2015). The set of sentences covers all possible actions, flows and graphical elements present in a BPMN model.…”

“…The complete set of sentences that can be used can be found in (Cruz et al, 2014b). In this context, a use case represents a business process activity (Cruz et al, 2014b). Pre-conditions are used to constrain the use cases execution order.…”

Requirements elicitation is a crucial activity and one of the first steps in software development process. A popular way to capture and describe requirements is through UML use case models. Transforming requirement specifications into software design models is a complex and error prone software development activity. Software design usually involves several models, each one representing a different perspective. One of those perspectives is the data perspective which can be modeled using a data model. Although of the importance of this model, few works has been done to derive a data model from use case model. The 4SRS (4-Step Rule Set) method generates a logical architecture of a software-based system, based on a use case model. This paper proposes an approach to adapt and extend the 4SRS method in order to generate a data model supporting the generated logical architecture and the elicited requirements based in a set of business process models.
