How to use: "MDG Technology for Testing"

[mikewhit]

Has anyone seen a 'how to' document for the MDG Testing Technology.xml file that Sparx have so helpfully provided ?

I don't really want to have to become a guru (or god ...) on Profiles and MDG before I can tell if this stuff is going to be of any use.

All I'd like is a little PDF that says - this is what you can do if you import this MDG file - these are the processes it supports, these are the diagrams (and results) you can create, these are the situations you can use it in and these are the benefits.

Preferably without an explanation at the metamodel level ;-)

Sorry if I've missed something obvious. [Perhaps the .xml file should contain a URL link to its own documentation ?!]

The technology file implements the OMG's "UML Testing Profile" specification which is available from here: http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/modeling_spec_catalog.htm (two up from the bottom of the page). The OMG document has plenty of examples of use.

Thanks - I didn't see any link to it in the MDG section !

It seems very much geared to documenting test frameworks at the Class level [including explanations at the metamodel level !!] whereas I had been hoping for some means of roping together test and requirements coverage and scenarios with implementations in a more general encompassing way.

Still interesting, and I might still be able to put it to use.
