| has gloss | eng: The goal of event partitioning is to be an easy-to-apply systems analysis technique that helps the analyst organise requirements for large systems into a collection of smaller, simpler, minimally-connected, easier-to-understand ‘mini systems’ / use cases. The approach is explained by Stephen M. McMenamin and John F. Palmer in Essential Systems Analysis . A brief version of the approach is described in the article on Data Flow Diagrams. A more complete discussion is in Edward Yourdon's Just Enough Structured Analysis . The description focuses on using the technique to create data flow diagrams, but it can be used to identify use cases as well. |
