    Question is plain and simple - what do you use when writing use cases? I'm unhappy for some time with what's available, and thinking to finally start making something on my own. So I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything great. I don't need fancy diagrams... just want to write plain, simple text, have sections and option to hyperlink something... as described in Writing Effective Use-Cases by Cockburn. Tnx in advance for suggestions...

      I recently came across this one http://use-case-maker.sourceforge.net/[^] It is the first free UC manager I've run into that didn't look like it was thrown together over a weekend. Can't beat the price either. The PDF output looks nice too. I'd be interested in others feedback before I present it to some people at work.

        You may want to try this[^]. It's not free though. You may want to try Brad's suggestion as well.

          NUNIT for C# (though I don't like the new stuff), and _ASSERTE for C++.

            What new stuff?

            I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. - W. Somerset Maugham My New Blog

              Never have written a proper one, and I don't consider my programs to have suffered for it. UML is pretty impenetrable IMNSHO and confuses me more than it clarifies. I'm sure other CPians will disagree though... :-D
