Abstract

Use case models and activity diagrams play an important role in the early stages of requirement specification for systems development. When complex use cases descriptions are supplemented with corresponding activity diagrams to represent the same set of requirements from different perspectives, inconsistencies between pairs of related artifacts affect the quality of the resulting models. This paper presents a differential quality model, which can be utilized for enhancing the quality of those UML models.
