An Approach to Generate Actor-Oriented Activity Charts from Use Case Requirements

In this paper, we propose an approach for transforming use case requirements into actor-oriented activity charts. In this approach, we first specify requirements using a relatively more formalized use case template. Next, we generate actor-oriented activity charts by identifying various interactions of an actor with the system and the events sequenced thereafter. The resulting activity charts can be useful in various software planning and development activities like release planning, test planning, execution and others.
