Generating a Domain Model from a Use Case Model.

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the transition from requirements to subsequent phases of software development. We elaborate on creation of a Domain model from an existing Use Case model. A domain model can be seen as an interface or a pipe between the Requirement Engineering phase and the Design Phase of the software development life cycle. Our goal is to automate the extraction of domain information from requirements up to a feasible extent. The approach is integrated to UCEd, a tool for use cases based requirements analysis. 1
