The Creator of Use Cases
Dr. Ivar Jacobson
Dr. Ivar Jacobson has been identified as a candidate to the title: ”Father of software engineering”. His contributions span over 50 years starting from components and component architecture in 1968 to the essentials of modern software engineering in 2019. In between he created use cases and what became the Unified Process in 1986 and he was the co-creator of UML in 1997. Ivar started to work on what became “The Essence of Software Engineering” in 2006, and now Essence and its use cases is on a path to revolutionise the software engineering discipline.
Since its inception in 1986 the Use-Case practice has been improved in many steps with the new Use-Case practices designed for agile teams and agile development. Use Cases can be considered as the hub of modern software engineering.
