@badassdesi: ok, I'll agree to call UCs requirements, but only if they are part of an overall reqs package that includes a vision, higher-level requests/features, low-level detailed bus rules, and user/system interfaces. My bias against calling them reqs is from enterprise projects where UCs alone were the *only* "reqs" allowed. These dozens projects were disasters with lots of customer anger, re-work, and 5-10x cost overruns until the "requirements process expert" was fired.
@badassdesi: use cases illustrate the *cases* where an actor *uses* high-level features. Inside the use cases are references to detailed business rules. The features and business rules constitute the functional requirements, and with them alone a developer could design a solution. With UCs alone a dev could not design a soln, because they are not the actual requirements.
@gma683e066736 yr approach is correct when you say define the requirements and illustrate how they are used in the use case. However, if you are deriving use cases from business reqns or feature reqns how do u not call them use case 'requirements'?
Use cases are not requirements. They are scenario driven threads showing the usage of the requirements. Define the requirements first, then write use cases to illustrate how they are used. Again, USE CASES ARE NOT REQUIREMENTS.
Very simple, clear, and straightforward overview of use cases in requirements analysis. I recommend this video for anyone on the business side of the house who wants to at the very least learn the lingo used by analysts and technologists.
