Developing guidance and tool support for rationale-based use case specification

Few requirements engineering techniques are widely applied in industry. This can -at least to some extent- be attributed to lack of dedicated guidance, tool support, and technique integration. In this paper, we describe dedicated tool support and guidance for rationale-based use case specification, which we incrementally derived from several students experiments. Through this example, we want to promote student experiments as a good basis for developing and improving guidance material and tool support, hence facilitating technology transfer.
