Abstract :
The purpose of requirements engineering is to elicit and evaluate necessary and valuable user needs. Current use-case approaches to requirements acquisition inadequately support use-case formalization and nonfunctional requirements. Based on industry trends and research, the authors have developed a method to structure use-case models with goals. They use a simple meeting planner system to illustrate the benefits of this new approach
