An Aspectual Use-Case Driven Approach.
Jo�ão Araújo, Ana Moreira · 2003
Abstract. Existing approaches to software development do not handle properly the crosscutting nature of some requirements, be functional or non-functional. Aspect-oriented approaches aim at handling effectively separation of crosscutting requirements. We have been investigating how to achieve separation of concerns, not only through functional and non-functional requirements, but also by providing mechanisms to identify, modularize, specify and compose crosscutting requirements. In this paper we envisage an aspectual use-case driven approach by extending the use case model to integrate non-functional requirements and identifying those use cases that are crosscutting. The examples of crosscutting concerns usually found in the literature are always non-functional. In this work we will explore the idea of crosscutting use cases and, therefore, functional concerns. 1
