An evaluation of a use case driven requirements analysis using web UI prototype generation tool

It has been widely acknowledged that a major reason for software project failure is the ambiguous and incomplete customer's requirements. One of their main cautions is the inconsistency between implementation image and specification at an early stage of software development. Therefore, we have been proposed a method to automatically generate a user interface prototype from a requirements analysis model in Unified Modeling Language in order to decrease inconsistency between them for business Web application development. In this paper, we have compared our proposal with traditional use case modeling to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposal.
