Except where discussed here, each element and relationship that you can create using these Toolbox pages is described in the UML Elements and UML Connectors sections of the Help. An Issue element is a structured comment that contains information about issues relating to the system or model; affected elements are linked by Trace connectors. A Change element is a structured comment that contains information about changes requested to the system/model; affected elements are connected by Trace connectors. A Task element defines a task attached to an element; you can assign resources specifically to the task rather than just to the parent element, and monitor the tasks on diagram Gantt charts. A Test Case element defines what must be set up in order to test a particular feature; you can use it to define a set of tests once for a number of elements. As an element rather than a property, it provides greater visibility for tests. An Entity is an abstract type that is often used in analysis to record that something is of interest to the system, without necessarily defining how it will be represented in the system. A Test element represents a step in any of the Basic, Alternate or Exception Paths of a Scenario, created within a Use Case or other element. A Defect element is a structured comment that contains information about defects relating to the system or model; affected elements are linked by Trace connectors. |
