o        Discuss how developing your secondary scenarios helped you to:

• Identify whether your use cases were sensible and workable
• Clarify the step-by-step actions of your use cases

o        Consider the assumptions you  made about the system in order to produce your use case model.

• In real life what questions would you have asked to get the necessary information? Who would you have asked?

Part C – Critique of Use Cases and Rich Pictures [20 marks]

As a result of the above activities, and based upon your experience of using these two techniques, write a critique comparing these two approaches to requirementsanalysis. Make sure that you address the following questions when writing your critique:

o   In what ways do these techniques help you, the  analyst, at the early stages of requirements analysis?

o   What do these approaches have in common (if anything)?

o   What are the strengths/weaknesses of each approach?

 

Your answer to Part C should be in the region of 1000 words

Remember that this critique should be based upon your personal experiences and evaluation of the

technique so you shouldn’t need to reference external sources. You must not just discuss Rich

Pictures/Use Case Modelling approaches generally. However, if you have used any external sources

at all then you must clearly reference any sources of information you have used to help you.
