Alternate path restriction in Use Case Scenario

[tomeggi]

I am using Use Case Structured Scenarios very intensively because we also use them for creating test cases within another tool (Enterprise Tester).

I have to deal with a limitation of Use Case Structured Scenarios within EA (i am using EA 9.3 build 9.3.933): I can define alternate and/or exception path for a step within the basic scenario but it is not possible doing the same within an alternate or exception path.

How can I bypass this restriction or will EA provide this feature sometimes in the near future?

I have the same problem. I remember that in older version was possible create create alternate and/or exception from step in alternate scenario.

Why there is this restriction?

What's the paper,  article ou standard used to create this restriction?

It has never been possible to create alternate/exception scenarios for anything but the main scenario.

And although I don't think the tool should restrict this, it is not a bad idea to restrict yourself to this in order to keep the scenarios simple. Exception on alternate on alternate => spaghetti

I would not call a two-level exception spaghetti. Nor a three-level alternative.
