The discussion of UML's death has been very interesting. Along those lines, we invite you to participate in a survey of how Use Cases are used (within or outside UML).
We would really like to hear your views about Use Cases and what you are doing with them. We have recently created a web survey and we would love to get your responses and ideas, no matter what you think! The survey can be found at:
https://www.uleth.ca/survey/uml/
The survey is hosted by the University of Lethbridge in Alberta Canada. We are Brian Dobing, from the University of Lethbridge, and Jeff Parsons, Memorial University of Newfoundland. We are primarily researchers and teachers, not UML consultants or book writers. We have no preconceived notions of what distinguishes good vs bad Use Cases, when and how they should be used, etc. But we are very interested in your views. Some of our work was published in the Communications of the ACM and is available free online at:
http://www.acmqueue.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=461
We have recently completed a longer article based on this research and should be able to provide it to anyone interested in a few months. (It isnâ(TM)t published yet.) You can request a copy if you complete the survey â" but actually we will provide it free to anyone so please donâ(TM)t enter a lot of garbage data just to get the paper. Just send us an email (there are email links on the first page of the survey).
We really welcome all opinions, including those that say weâ(TM)re asking the wrong questions etc. Our goal is to help the UML and Use Case community better understand what it going on. To that end, the OMG is supporting our research and has provided a link to our survey on their web pages (omg.org and uml.org).
We look forward to hearing from you and providing you with some interesting feedback in return. Once again, the link is:
