TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A small caveat that makes no difference to the process that you use to
elicit use cases but may impact how you document them is...
Though very related, scenarios are thought to be different from use
cases. A use case is like a boilerplate outline of some specific
business activity. A scenario is an instance or a specific
implementation of a use case with hypothetical variables that tend to
test the use case.
An overly simplified example,
Use Case (step): User enters pass code into the ATM.
Scenario: User enters wrong pass code into the ATM after 2 failed
attempts.
