Abstract

The use case model help the designers to identify the requirements of the system and to study its high level functionality. In this paper we present a methodology for graphical user interface design using the UML use case model. Given a use case diagram representing the actors and use cases of a system, and a set of activity diagrams describing each use case, our technique allows us to generate a prototype of each user interface together with a set of GUI components. Our technique handles the <<include>> and generalization relationships on use cases, in such a way that they are interpreted from the point of view of the GUI design.
