Structured Scenario "Joins" Not Reportable ???
« on: October 05, 2010, 02:38:37 am »
I am generating an RTF report on a structured scenario associated with a use case.  My scenario has alternate and exception paths, which rejoin the basic path.

Problem: I can find no way to include the Join information in the Report!

If I manually put this information as the last step of an alternate or exception path, it will not be automatically updated when the Join changes.

Please help!  Is there any way to do this with EA?

                     Thanks, Alan

We've had this problem too, so a nice solution (which we don't think exists) would be very welcome!

Fixed for the next release of EA (unknown release date).

I can't even get it to display Exception paths. How do I do this? It shows them at the end of the basic path but I'd like it in the Basic Path the way it does Alternate paths (although, for Alternate paths it displays "Exception: 10a. Blah blah" instead of "Alternate: 10a. Blah blah"!)

If you create a copy of the template and insert the "Type" field inplace of the "exception" text will display correctly.

If they "Type" Field isnt available, then please wait until the next build.

I have

- [X] Scenario
    --- [ ] Exception
    --- [X] Structured Scenarios
           --- [X] Exception

I don't seem to have the type field. I'm using 8.0.864.

Also, I changed the text "Exception" to "Alternate" and removed Exception, as shown above. This is acceptable for now. Thanks for the reply.

Correction: It's not always right. I have a scenario where it inludes alternate and exception scenarios in the basic path, and labels them both "Alternate"  :( (I changed that text as indicated above). Does anyone have a work-around for this? Why is it sometimes including exceptions in the output, and not at other times? I'm going to check my model and see if there are any subtle differences in how I've defined them.
