Extending Level Numbering to Packages
« on: February 19, 2011, 03:49:46 am »
The level numbering works for use cases, but it would be helpful if auto-numbering could also be applied to packages and the use cases contained within those packages. I have several use cases arranged in various packages to create a baseline test plan. Each package groups several use cases of similar functionality. It would be ideal for organizing and version control if each package could also be auto-numbered. Right now, to check in/check out of CVS while retaining desired numbering, the top level items are use cases, not packages, and the entire baseline test needs to be checked out.

An alternative approach would be that level numbering isn't applied to packages, but sub-items could inherit from their containing package. For example, if a package was named "1: Authentication", the use cases below would be "1.1: Login", "1.2 Logout", etc.
