Element - Test : How can I insert an element-tag in the test-tag? I want the element-tag to be printed on every test created below that element.

Hi Werner,

I don't know off hand, but perhaps you could clarify a couple of points.

By "tag" do you mean tagged values? And for the test, are you talking about a separate test entity related to an element, or an 'embedded' property that EA allows you to set up, or what?

When you say "printed" are you talking about having on diagrams, or when you generate output (RTF, HTML, reports)?

Hello David,

Thanks for your answer.

I want Element.Name to appear on the RTF output of any test created below the element. I create my tests for requirement elements within the testing view (Main menu / view / testing). Afterwards I import my tests into different use cases. So I want the use case name to appear on the test whenever I generate RTF output.

Could you also tell me how I can use the "insert image" button to insert an image into my replies. I tried to do so here below. But without success as you can see.

Thanks for your help.

Werner,

What you are trying to do is easy with the various field substitution macros that EA provides. However, I don't believe they apply to report generation, just code engineering. Unfortunately (at least for this case) I built my own generation system before the current EA functionality came along, and have not really had to go back and look into this.

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?

As for inserting images, you'll have to find some site where you can post an image and get its URL. You insert a pointer to that location when you want an image to appear in this forum. There have been a few posts that identify such sites. I'm sorry, but I cannot think of any easy keywords to use when searching for these posts. Still, it might be worth a bit of effort.

Sorry I cannot be of more immediate help,
David

Is there anybody else who could help me on this?

Hello,

Can anybody help me on this? Why does this field substitution macro not work? I want to reproduce Element.Name within the test-tag.

element >
{Element.Name}

Test :{ElemTest.Name}Type :{ElemTest.Type}

Thanks for your help.
