Templates for Use and Misuse Cases in Mobile and Multi-Channel Systems

Abstract

Use cases is a popular representation format for functional requirements, and misuse cases have similarly been explored for security and safety threats and requirements implied by these. The literature has several suggested templates and writing guidelines for textual use cases, but these templates tend not to include information about the location where actions are performed, nor about the equipment used. In multi-channel information systems supporting mobile work processes, such information would be highly relevant. This paper therefore presents extended templates and writing guidelines for use and misuse cases where such information is included.
