Abstract
Patterns are well-proven solutions to common problems. They can increase the quality of a model, reduce the time to identify and specify requirements, and diminish redundancies, inconsistencies and omissions. Use case modeling is a very popular way of describing requirements. However, very limited work is done on uniting the concepts of patterns and use cases. This paper presents an attempt to provide a thorough set of use case patterns for both the context and the content of a use case. Furthermore, to ensure well-formedness and accuracy, the patterns are written in EBNF and tested in ANTLR.
