Fellow nettors,

I am trying to identify guidelines for identifying use cases. Here's
what I have come up with so far. Kindly feel free to provide
additions/alterations.

1) A use case should be triggered or observed by users (i.e. actors)
that lie outside the system boundary
2) A use case should only deal with "business functionality" and not
implementation details
3) A use case should provide "business value" to the users (i.e.
actors)
4) Use case titles should begin with a verb

Regards,
Bhat
