Abstract

While Object Orientation (OO) is advocated to give a better solution to most of software engineering problems, management itself of OO software development seems to have not been firmly established yet. We extend the use of use case model to the management of development utilizing ranking information associated with each use case. This model provides strong traceablity and improves the understandings of what the software developer develops and what the customer needs. Various measurements related to use cases can be used for progress management. The process and organizational hierarchy to establish and enhance frameworks are also proposed. In this paper, development processes which incorporate the use case model and the surrounding organizations and their roles are discussed. Case studies for mid-sized, actual, real-life projects were conducted and their results were favorable.
