Traceability: display connector stereotype

[Uffe]

Hi!

The specific types of connectors aren't shown in the Traceability window. This means dependency-based connectors get lumped together as "depends on / needed by" and association-based ones become "links to / links from."

Having the option to display connector stereotypes would help a LOT. The name could be useful too, as could source/target roles and guards, but the stereotype is the important one.

In this example, A has a normal dependency to B and a trace to C:

Code: [Select]

A
    depends on
        B
        C («trace»)
Of course, it would also be nice to be able to separate the link nodes based on stereotype. We'd then get something like:

Code: [Select]

A
    depends on
        B
    depends on («trace»)
        CBut that's a change in how the window works and I'm sure not everyone would agree with me on that one.

But I am absolutely positive that everyone in the entire wide world agrees with the first suggestion.

Right?

I'd vote for this as well. Sparx are making a big thing about the Traceability view in their latest Webinar (soon to be on the website) and I was reminded of how useful it is.
This would make it even more useful!
