A Novel Approach of Prioritizing Use Case Scenarios

Abstract

Modern softwares are very large and complex. As the size and complexity of software increases, software developers feel an urgent need for a better management of different activities during the course of software development. In this paper, we present an approach of use case scenario prioritization suitable for project planning at an early phase of the software development. We consider only use case model in our work. For prioritization, we focus on how critical a scenario path is, which essentially depends on density of overlapping of sub path of a scenario path with other scenario path(s) of a use case. Our proposed approach provides an analytical solution on use case scenario prioritization and is very much effective in project management related activities as substantiated by our experimental results.
