How to create a custom connector between 2 stereot
« on: September 28, 2015, 07:36:32 pm »
Hello all!
I have a 2 requirement-based stereotypes:
  • Custom Requirement
  • Custom Requirement Test
I need to create a custom link between instances of the stereotypes above:
  • Tests - Tested By
What steps I need to do in profile?

It's the same as for any element. I would stereotype a Dependency with <<Tests>> and/or <<Tested by>>. You can add this to toolboxes like any other element in your MDG.

Thank for the answer.
I forgot to specify that I need in case selection of Custom Requirement element on the diagram/specification manager - the trace window must to show me a correct links Tested By and vice versa. Is it possible?

Trace window? Do you mean the quick linker?

We connect 2 elements with Dependency connector. When Traceability window is open it shows this dependency as Depend on - Needed By.
I need to create a custom connector that in Traceability window will show Tests - Tested By.

The traceability window will just show "depends on" in the direction of the dependency (always source-target even if you set it target-source - EAUI). The stereotype is suppressed in this window. EAUI again, I guess.
