Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering: A Use Case Based Approach

Aspect oriented software development has shown a new level of modularization at design and implementation level. A technique is presented in this paper for aspect oriented modeling of requirements. An extension is proposed for UML use case relationships that enable the requirements model to capture the crosscutting nature of different software concerns. Using aspect oriented modeling of requirements can lead to better system design. System´s understandability and traceability is improved that leads to better design and easier maintenance
