Proposing metrics of difficulty of domain knowledge using usecase diagrams

In a system development, the knowledge of a target business is very important factor for the success of a development. The needed part of such knowledge is different for each stakeholder. Therefore, we need a method to measure the level of understanding of a stakeholder and a method to categorize business knowledge. This paper proposes the metric of difficulty level in order to measure the business knowledge. Moreover, we performed the experiment to confirm the suitability of the proposed metric.
