Except where discussed here, each element and relationship that you can create using these Toolbox pages is described in the UML Elements and UML Connectors sections of the Help. A Requirement is a custom element used to capture requirements external to standard UML elements; a Requirement expresses required system behavior that can cross several Use Cases. You can connect Requirements to other elements using the Realize connector to express the implementation of a requirement and hence the traceability from user requirements to what is being built. An Issue element is a structured comment that contains information about defects and issues relating to the system/model; affected elements are connected by Trace connectors. A Change element is a structured comment that contains information about changes requested to the system/model; affected elements are connected by Trace connectors. A Screen provides a stereotyped Class element that displays a GUI type screen; this can be used to express application GUI elements and flows between them. A UI Control likewise can be used to express GUI controls. A Test Case element defines what must be set up in order to test a particular feature; you can use it to define a set of tests once for a number of elements. As an element rather than a property, it provides greater visibility for tests. Entity - use of this element is deprecated - it was originally intended to take the role now supplied by the Table element. |
