Flavelle, hi.
Thanks for your interest in our use case approach. There are two books
that really inspired us and motivated us to create an automated tool in
the first place:
1) Advanced use case modelling, by Frank Armour and Granville Miller,
Addison Wesley (2001), ISBN:0-201-61592-4
This had a profound impact on the way we perceive use cases and on the
need for deep customisation of the use case approach to suit a
project's specific needs. We also had great conversations with Frank,
one of the two authors, which obviously further enriched the overall
experience.
2) Managing software requirements, by Dean Leffingwell and Don Widrig,
Addison Wesley (2000), ISBN: 0-201-61593-2
This is one of the classics of the science of software requirements. We
really enjoyed it not so much for the specific of use cases, but for
its emphasis on the importance of industrial strenght requirements,
which are captured to be sturdy, traceable and verifiable, but which
are at the same time resilient to change.
Ultimately, the structure we came up for use cases is a distillation of
the knowledge garnered both from books and from real life experience at
formalising requirements as use cases for various organisations, with
varying cultures, sizes and project scopes.
HTH,
