Use Case Patterns Driven Requirements Engineering

Based on a novel multi-phases process, a new use case patterns catalogue is constructed. This catalogue is then utilized as a framework for a new use case patterns driven approach for requirement engineering. The application of the approach in a Test Warehouse environment showed two main promising results. First, the approach could save up to 30% of the time required for the requirements engineering phase of software development projects. Second, resulted requirements models from the proposed approach showed high completeness percentage between 85% and 95%. Nevertheless, users raised a number of concerns that has been considered to outline prospective phases of this research.
