Events in use cases as a basis for identifying and specifying classes and business rules

Abstract

Business rules are closely associated with events. This paper describes how events in use cases can be the basis for identifying classes and business rules. A process known as event scripting is used to document the event and from it objects and their relationships are identified. Business rules identified with the events are attached to objects as part of their definitions in class specifications. The event scripting process is described in detail in this paper.
