Abstract

This paper presents reusable patterns appearing in use case based requirements analysis processes. In the processes, analysts have interview and questionnaires to the stakeholders to get information of their problems, and then they compose the requirements specifications that are readable to the stakeholders. In this paper, we adopt use case approach to specify the requirements. We abstract the requirements descriptions written in use cases into patterns, so that we can reuse the experiences in requirements analysis. From a case study of a simple example problem, we design questionnaire forms and a set of patterns of reusable structured use cases.
