In Support of User Interface Design in the Rational Unified Process

The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a use case driven iterative software engineering process User Interface design within the RUP involves user interface modelling and user interface prototyping. This paper describes two support artefacts - extended tabular use cases and UI element clusters - which provide a bridge between these two activities. They provide support for 'flow of events' storyboarding, the clustering of user interface elements and identification of UML boundary classes, and the initial sketching of user interface prototypes.
