Test Cases
…in other words
…often duplicate requirements,
such as “user steps and system response flow”
confusion
…also suffer from “translation errors” from one
deliverable to the next.
wasted budget
rework

6. Use
Cases

What if we took these specifications..
…combine some
of them into single
integrated
deliverable, that
removes the
duplication and
translation errors
Use Case Storyboard
…and
automatically
