Summary Diagram

When a package is checked against a Reference Model, Model Expert creates a snapshot meta-model of the package, and annotates the errors it has found.

For example, checking the package “Diagrams to be checked – un-managed” from the example model, and checking the option “Show results as diagram” produces:

This shows that:

  • There are no problems in the 3 NonFunctionalRequirements
  • The dependency connectors from BusinessStakeholders to NonFunctionalRequirements are all OK
  • The ArchitecturalRequirement (Count=1) is wrong
  • ‘Business stakeholder’ and ‘Requirement’ elements have some problems, but not serious.
  • The ‘Realization’ connector is wrong, but all the actor/requirement Dependency links are OK.
