Purpose

This tool mentor describes how to use Rational SoDA to create a Use-Case Model Survey. SoDA automates the generation of the report so that it is created quickly and accurately. You can generate a Use-Case Model Survey with either the Microsoft® Word® or Adobe® FrameMaker® version of SoDA. This works only if the Rational Rose model follows the structure and naming convention for the Use-Case Model.
