Use-case models play an important role in the software development processes. They are used for specifying functional requirements, estimating software development project efforts, and planning iterations. The use-case model is subject to change as requirements are modified or the model is refactored. Therefore, it is essential that the use-case model is not redundant and reusable. Existing approaches for use-case model specification support reusability in a limited way. This paper fills the gap. It introduces a new Use-Case Flow (UCF) approach to specify the entire use-case model in a convenient yet formalized way. The paper contains the UCF metamodel, consisting of its abstract syntax and a description of the semantics of the metamodel elements. A textual concrete syntax of the T-UCF is also introduced and informally described. The concrete syntax is dedicated to the specification of the use-case model in a well-defined textual form. The stress is put on the reusability of the constructs defined by a use-case modeler when defining or changing the use-case model. An example of a usecase model specified in the T-UCF language is presented in the paper.
