Module Identifier thilburn.2003.1
Abstract This module is designed prepare students to perform use case analysis for a moderate sized software project.
Size Lecture: 60 min
Homework: 120 min
Comments This module is designed for use with a course in software requirements, OO analysis and design, or something similar. The module is introductory in nature. The level of discussion is appropriate for the analysis of small to moderate systems (e.g., systems requiring one-half work year or less to develop) developed by students in an academic setting. It does not include certain detail and complexities that would be needed to develop larger systems, in a commercial or government setting.
