In this paper we describe a methodology to model a use case using sequence diagrams quantification. Our methodology consists in a set of metrics to define the amount of scenarios, and it determines the use case goal accomplishment based on the occurrence, sequence order, and the flow of data involved in. It also helps to obtain a robust design because all possible flows are considered; by this way, software quality could be achieved in quantitative terms. This approach can be used in two ways: to define a complete set of scenarios before entering in the design phase, and to measure design quality in terms of completeness and functionality attributes. Our methodology follows the main recommendations to apply a solid mathematical basis for engineering careers, and informatics and computing programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
