Model Validation bug?

[Guillaume]

Hi

I tried EA model validation feature and found a bug (even on v9.1) : in the help, it shows as an example  that if you link a class to an activity, it should yield an error within the results of the Model Validation.

However despite enabling all validation rules, and association a class to an activity and a class to an object, no error is returned by EA.
Only an inheritance on the same class yields an error.

Any clue?
Another point : can it be compared with Doors Analyst check feature?

Thanks

Well, the Help does not say that if you link a Class to an Activity it should generate an error. An Association between a Class and an Activity is valid UML.

The Help should say that you cannot have a Generalization with a Class (general) as the source and an Activity (specific) as the target. It ought to be the other way around (if you really wanted to link a Class and Activity in this way anyhow).

Model Validation ought to pick that up. It does not. It ought to pick up, too, that an Association between a Class and an Object is not valid UML. It does not. I have sent a bug report through for those two points.
