Find out usage of methods in sequence charts
« on: January 31, 2008, 05:19:12 am »
Hi!

one question: Is there any possibility in EA to find out quickly, in which sequence charts a method as used.

In addition to this I like to find out, which methods of a class are orphans (not used in any sequence chart within this project).

Thanks for your help :-)

Hmmm,
To me it looks like EA allows you to select a method for a message flow and then stores the relavent text. So, updating the method doesn't lead to an update of the diagram (the link has to be manually 'refreshed').
I don't think the simple search tool in EA will pick up message text. You could use either the underlying database or the automation interface to programmatically search, but the result would be purely a text comparison as there is no link between the method and its use in the message (so this is perhaps a little dangerous).
