Abstract: A system and method for identifying modeling errors in textual use case description analyze an input text describing a use case and create an application model representing the use case, the application model containing information obtained from analyzing the input text describing the use case. The application model may be automatically analyzed using automatic process and one or more errors in the use case and/or reports about the use case may be generated. In one aspect, processing components may be integrated into a user development environment to allow developing use cases and improving them incrementally and/or iteratively as information is identified about the use cases.
