Abstract
There are a number of concerns in agile software development, including requirements engineering. There are different types of agile requirement, of which currently the most common forms are use cases and user stories. The use cases and user stories have different origins, both in space and in time, but, by being among the practices of scenario-oriented requirements engineering (SORE), they are not entirely unrelated. The purpose of this article is to situate use cases and user stories in context of each other. This is done by means of a conceptual framework for systematically comparing use cases and user stories. The understanding of similarities and differences between use cases and user stories have pedagogical as well as practical implications.

The Role of Science, Technology, and the Individual on the Way of Software Systems Since 1968
It is an exciting and fascinating approach to software development. The agile process breaks a larger software project into several smaller parts that can be developed in increments and iterations. The purpose is to deliver a working software program quickly to the customer. The agile hierarchy in an agile team is based on competence, not authority. All members constantly explore ways to add more value to the customer. When compared with traditional methods, agile projects qualify that they are better in terms of overall business value, higher in quality, less costly, more productive, and show quicker time-to-market speeds. Lean, Kanban, Crystal, Extreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Method and Feature-Driven Development are a few of the agile methodologies.
