Hello Rusty,
Take a look at "Applying Use Cases: A Practical Guide" by Geri Schneider and
Jason P. Winters. This is a relatively small book (188 pgs. total) but
describes how to come up with Use Cases very good.
Thanks,

Subject: (ROSE) Rules for well formed use cases...
Hello,
I am trying to come up with some rules for creating good, well formed use
cases. I'm referring to concrete use cases - ones directly connected to
actors. Our people are new to UML and use cases and keep coming up with use
cases like "Enter Line Item" (not a complete function), "Make Change" (not a
'system' function) and "Calculate Tax" (among other things, internal - an
analysis issue). We are trying to adhere to the OMG 1.3 UML Specification
and are using RUP.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this? Has anyone seen a list
of 'rules' posted anywhere?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Rusty Williamson
