Abstract

Requirement engineering is foremost and essential activity in software development process. Its impotence is evident, model building is time-consuming as it emphasizes the understanding of what is required by the user and what should be given to the user. The model built using use case is a combination of diagram and text, the only diagram is not sufficient to specify user requirement. To support diagram some textual information is must, this makes model self-explanatory. This paper presents the idea about requirement specifications using use case model, where proper combination of diagram and text will be presented to make the idea clear.

Keywords

Use case model, requirement specifications, object-oriented analysis, actors, requirement engineering
