Barb von Halle and Larry Goldberg had an interesting article titled Use Cases and Business Rules – can they work together over on Modern Analyst. In the article they discuss the role of the Decision Model and business rules in use cases.

  • Look for decisions in your use cases (see this post by a friend of mine on finding decision points and my follow-up on types of decisions).
  • Make them explicit, describe them, understand what question/answer is at the heart of the decision (“Is this customer eligible?”,”What’s the right risk adjusted price for this product for this customer?”)
  • Track but don’t embed the rules that drive them so you can trace from a use case to a decision to the rules that describe it
  • Don’t list rules in the use case steps or in the description of the use case – let the decisions act as a layer of indirection
  • Remember that business rules can be reused across decisions and that decisions can be reused across use cases.

You might also find this technique for decomposing decisions to be helpful.

I also wrote an article on the same site on the role of Decision Management in requirements.
