T01: Use-Case Model Refactoring and ImprovementSunday, Oct 22, from 08:30 to 12:00, E142
There are far too many low-quality use-case models, and surprisingly often the same mistakes reappear. In this tutorial we will show how to improve a use-case model by refactoring as well as how to retract from some of the most common, although not necessarily well known, errors and mistakes. We will also discuss so-called use-case anti-patterns to look for and examine sample use-case models together. Intermediate: Basic knowledge and experience of use-case modeling are needed. Goals: The participants will learn criteria and techniques for refactoring use-case models to improve model quality. Format: The first part of this tutorial will cover techniques and criteria for refactoring a use-case model. This will be done in the form of a slide show. The second part will be a group session where the attendees will work in small groups identifying areas of improvements in given examples as well as proposing enhancements.
