“…In [SP33], authors highlight that Use Cases ensure traceability between requirements and system test cases, and, when tests are generated, it is possible to generate traces back to associated requirements [SP47]. In [SP39] the use of Use Case model is extended to include ranking information associated with each Use Case, and in this way, provides strong traceability and improvement in the understandings of developers and customers.…”

Context: There is abundant literature on the application of UML Use Cases. However, the impact that these applications have had on real projects (in industry) is not well known. It is necessary to know what the impact of the Use Cases really is, so that both, researchers and professionals can make the most pertinent decisions.Objective: To identify and classify the positive and negative impacts of using Use Cases in real-world settings. Method:We conducted a systematic mapping study. The search strategies retrieved a set of 4,431 papers out of which 47 were selected as primary studies. We defined four facets to classify these studies: 1) the positive impact (advantages), 2) the negative impact (disadvantages), 3) the industry's domain and 4) the type of research reported. Results:Our study identified eight categories of advantages related to the application of Use Cases. The most mentioned were estimation, analysis and automation. These advantages had a heterogeneous distribution along the years. On the other hand, the granularity of the scenarios described in the Use Cases, the lack of a standardized format for specifying requirements, and the lack of appropriate guidelines for analysing them were the most mentioned disadvantages. We identified a variety of industry domains, grouped into seven categories. As we can expect most of the papers report experiences in the Information Technology domain, followed by financials applications. Almost half the papers applied evaluation research, including an empirical validation. Only one third of the analysed papers reported threats to validity, the most mentioned being generalizability (38%). Conclusions:Use Cases have proven to be a useful tool in software development, particularly during the early stages. The positive effects far outweigh the few negative effects reported, although this may be due to the researchers' tendency of not reporting negative results.

“…Scenarios of important use cases are also prioritized by considering different usage metrics such as total number of actors/objects involved, usage frequency of an object/actor in each step of the use case. Use case prioritization have been used in different activities in the software engineering process [24,21]. In [21], A. K. Onoma et al present a technique for the management of software development by utilizing the ranking information associated with each use case.…”

Modern softwares are very large and complex. As the size and complexity of software increases, software developers feel an urgent need for a better management of different activities during the course of software development. In this paper, we present an approach of use case scenario prioritization suitable for project planning at an early phase of the software development. We consider only use case model in our work. For prioritization, we focus on how critical a scenario path is, which essentially depends on density of overlapping of sub path of a scenario path with other scenario path(s) of a use case. Our proposed approach provides an analytical solution on use case scenario prioritization and is very much effective in project management related activities as substantiated by our experimental results.

Framework based software development becomes in focus recently to facilitate global level of reuse. However, frameworks are not always available for new application domains, which forces to develop both framework and its application at the same time.Concurrent development introduces several new problems such as where to partition the system into framework part and application extension, interface consistency between them, integration, organizations, how and when to provide extension capabilities in the framework, and so on.We designed the methodology, which addresses some of these issues, to achieve concurrent development of a framework and its application.Preliminary case study on the actual real project from our life insurance related software development was conducted. The study showed that our methodology was capable of handling some of the issues. Partitioning applications and synchronization of process still need more sophisticated approaches for more efficient development.
