semi structured use case details
UseCasers:
As promised, here are some thoughts from my earlier email, on adding a bit
more structure on use case details. Here is what I sent:
- Risk Factors (eg frequency, impact of failure)
- Case conditions (invariants, preconditions, etc)
- Interactions, including success, alternative path and exception
handlers
In my view, there are 2 general approaches we could take:
1. keep these or similar high level categories
2. go to defined or suggested subcategories, eg for Interactions:
Interactions:
- Success Path
- Define Preconditions
- Define Post conditions
- Alternative Paths/Exception Handlers
- Handler 1:
- Define invariants
- Define path
- Handler 2:
- Define invariants
- Define path
I would propose that no matter whichever approach is chosen, fields should
not be mandatory but should serve as guidelines for semi-structured text.
Among other things, this would enable existing use cases/diagrams to be
submitted as is if they were already complete and free standing.
I have also attached some guidelines I personally like I have used before
(from LiveSpec). If you like this approach, I can scour for a template of
these.
Thoughts?
