Abstract

This paper challenges established wisdom with respect to how to elaborate use cases. Use cases are refined into (business) objects which are then modelled by identifying methods and data. The research reported in this paper indicates that there are other better constructs for modelling use cases, at least initially, and that (business) objects are not a particularly good medium for discussing requirements with users. This paper describes the arguments leading up to these conclusions.
