Use Cases: Requirements in Context, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Decent
Review: This book does a decent job of explaining the use of Use Cases in defining/documenting requirements. My only complaint is that the authors skip around in the text. Other than that the book was well thought out.

Summary: How to design Use Cases iteratively
Review: This book is a "not so bad" book on Use Cases. It shows clearly how the Use Cases are completed iteratively, with clearly named completion levels. The book also tackle the problem of detailed rules attached to Uses Cases as well as risk list mitigation. On the bad side, I don't like the Use Cases decomposition the authors adopt and, even if a case study is a good idea, two case studies which spend the half of the book seems too much. Another thing about the iterative approach : to oulines the difference between 2 iterations, it should be interesting to use 2 colors or at least bold characters.

Summary: Great book but where's the templates?
Review: This book is very concise and super helpful with it's concrete examples. This is the best book on documenting requirements that I have seen and I have been lokking for quite some time. Sure wish though there was a CD that had Word templates! Seems silly for me to have to create all these from scratch when they are right there in the book. Darn.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: This book, along with Alistair Cockburn's "Writing Effective Use Cases" is one of the best that I have read. It is very practical and very "how"-oriented.

Summary: Very useful
Review: This is a very practical, example-oriented book. It stands on its own, but is even better as a companion to some of the AWT titles. Highly recommended.
