Model Validation
You use Model Validation to check UML models against known UML rules. The set of rules to validate against can be customized by enabling and disabling certain rules and rule categories. You can run Model Validation against a single UML element, a diagram or an entire Package. You can add to the system-provided validation rules by using an Add-In or an MDG Technology (such as BPMN) that contains its own rules. Model based add-ins are an effective tool for creating new and specific rules sets that implement custom rules specifically related to a single project, client or domain.
