Abstract

Capturing and representing information systems requirements using quality artifacts is an important step in successful systems development process. Better quality artifacts in the early stages of systems development help in early detection and correction of errors. Although UML is widely used for modeling systems requirements, it is often difficult for novice systems analysts to develop quality UML artifacts. This paper mines a set of errors frequently observed in use case models and sequence diagrams created by novice analysts, and develops propositions identifying intra- and inter-artifacts quality. The data mining tool, AlphaMiner, was used to discover dependencies as association rules between frequently committed errors. Propositions have been developed based on these dependencies identified from student projects. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
