Sample Data to Show the Intent of a Class
« on: February 22, 2012, 02:11:25 pm »
We have a model that we are reviewing with users to make sure we got their requirments right. But, they keep wanting to see sample data to really understand what each class represents. Does anybody have a good way to show data associaated with classes? It would be great if we could represent it as a table of some sort.

That is not quite what I had in mind, but it does work for me. It provides a picture of the data rather than a spreadsheet.

One issue I have noticed. I have a set of classes that have relationships. When I create the object and assign them to those classes (as instance classifieres) the class level relationships do not carry over. Flor a large model, this is a lot of work and will be prone to errors. Forcing them to have the same relationships would be best for me.
