<h2>Use Cases for Business Analysis: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>The use case is a method for documenting the interactions between the user of a system and the system itself. Use cases have been in the software development lexicon for over twenty years, ever since it was introduced by Ivar Jacobson in the late 1980s. They were originally intended as aids to software design in object-oriented approaches. However, the method is now used throughout the Solution Development Life Cycle from elicitation through to specifying test cases, and is even applied to software development that is not object oriented.</p>
 <p>This course identifies how business analysts can apply use cases to the processes of defining the problem domain through elicitation, analyzing the problem, defining the solution, and confirming the validity and usability of the solution.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>
 <p>You'll learn how to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Apply the use case method to define the problem domain and discover the conditions that need improvement in a business process</li>
 <li>Employ use cases in the analysis of requirements and information to create a solution to the business problem</li>
 <li>Translate use cases into requirements</li>
