| 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 via ACM Queue
at:
http://www.acmqueue.org/modules.php...howpage&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 isn't published yet.) You can request a copy if you complete
the
survey - but actually we will provide it free to anyone so please
don'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 we'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:

Thanks for your time
Brian Dobing and Jeff Parsons
