Are use cases useful in capturing system requirements?

Question

What is the best way to document system requirements? I currently use Use Cases to document requirements which does not include technical details (unless required) so that it is understood by the stakeholders.

Are there any other document formats for capturing system requirements which are also user friendly?

Answer 1

I think you can find those useful:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_documentation
http://www.literateprogramming.com/documentation.pdf
In those articles the software documentation is described in general.
