Abstract
The Use Case Map (UCM) scenario notation has some strong features related to rapid capture and evaluation of requirements models. In this paper, we explain how a UCM model was developed from a requirements oracle case study: the Autonomous Shuttle Transport System. We further consider establishing links between scenario elements and other types of requirements. These links, which can be supported by requirements management tools, are useful to maintain both the scenarios and requirements during their evolution. We also demonstrate how simple performance models generated from UCMs may impact high-level requirements and architectures.
