Title
Use Case Maps: A Roadmap for Usability and Software Integrated Specification
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore use case maps as a medium for integrating task analysis and usability requirement into the traditional software requirement engineering process. The paper responds to major gaps in user interface specification in HCI, in software development methods for interactive software, and in the communication between usability specialists and software developers. We illustrate, via a concrete example, the usage of use case maps as an approach for specifying user interface and usability requirements. The Use Case Maps (UCMs) is a scenario-based notation for describing, in an abstract way, how the organizational structure of a complex system and the emergent behavior of the system are intertwined. It provides a first-class design model for the “how it works” aspect of both object-oriented and real time systems. Use case maps give a road-map-like view of the cause-effect paths traced through a system by scenarios or use cases (Buhr, 1998).
