Abstract
The previous chapter looked at business process modelling and examined some popular notations for documenting business processes. This chapter looks at another model, the use case model (Jacobson et al., 1992). The use case model (UCM) is used in many software engineering methods to begin to capture user requirements. A software engineering method is a series of stages that are followed to develop software. A straightforward, generic software engineering method, the waterfall method, is shown in figure 1. The waterfall method has many faults but it illustrates nicely the stages that are involved in building software.
