External requirements on classes
« on: August 26, 2002, 02:59:03 pm »
Hi,
is there any way to change the default formatting of external requirements on classes?

I added some responsibilities to a class and displayed them in the "Responsibilities" compartment at the bottom of the class. Nice - got some really good comments from colleagues.
Then I changed these to external requirements. They then show at the top of the class (above the class name and stereotype), in italic, and right justified. This does not look good and makes it much more difficult to read. Also I haven't found out how to turn them off!

I like the idea of highlighting external requirements but why not leave them in the responsibilities compartment and just italise or use a different colour? The current (default?) format is unusable.

Cheers
Mark

Mark,

Just a side question to your question.   Do you use something like RequisitePro to assist in formal Functional Requirement documentation?   If not, then what?   Also, what tool do you use for the "as-is" process (if applicable) as opposed to a "to be" process?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Mark,

I hadnt seen this before - but on testing here now I appreciate the problem. I will at least remove the offending text from the next build - and consider how we might incorporate the external requirements into the Responsibilities section for a future release.

Thanks for the note, the patch will be in the next build ... which should be out soon.

Regards,
Geoff Sparks
