THE DESIGN OF TEXT TO USE CASE DIAGRAM TOOL

Abstract

Use case diagram is a diagram that helps requirements analysts to discover the requirements of target system from its users’ perspective. It describes what the system does from the standpoint of external observers. Use cases are employed during the analysis phase of a software project to identifying and partitioning the system’s functionality. There are many existing tools that assist end-user to draw Use Case Diagram. Event Studio allows the end-user to enter requirements by using FDL language to be generated as a diagram. Therefore, the end-user has to learn its syntax and semantics to use the tool. This paper presents a project’s design named Text to Use Case Diagram Tool or T-UCD tool that will help its end-user to identify actors, use cases, and relationships from a simple scenario or case study that will be generated as a Use Case Diagram. The system design covers both static and dynamic part of the system development which is Use Case Diagram, Class Diagram, and Interaction Overview Diagram. All of these diagrams illustrate on what and how the tool shall be implemented.
