I'm interested to know how other users of Rose track their changes.
The process we have in place is very much Use Case Driven, with the Use Case Documents being tracked within ReqPro. Other teams within the project (testers, UI developers, Business Object modellers, documentation and project managers) track changes using ReqWeb, and as their documents (test scripts, UI specs, Class diagrams, project plans) will have some kind of traceability associated with the Use Case document, they know exactly what changes they will need to apply. This part of the process seems to work fine. It is the changes in the Rose Model that cannot be tracked very well. In the Use Case View I have a Use Case for each Use Case document specified. Within the Logical View I have Use Case Realisation diagrams and associated Sequence Diagrams. This means if the Use Case document changes I can trace through the 2 views to the Sequence diagram and determine what classes need to be changed. Once I have changed these classes I need to inform the UI developers and Business Object developers that classes have changed (new / deleted / amended attributes or operations). I have implemented an Access Database to track changes made to individual classes. This is an acceptable method for the Business Object developers where it is not that important which Use Cases the changes have affected, but to the UI developers, the need to know which Use Cases have been affected is really important as their UI forms are implemented on a Use Case by Use Case basis. Apart from that, as the model is getting on to nearly 1000 classes the database is becoming an overhead and getting difficult to maintain. Apart from sending an email or speaking to the developer directly I cannot see how else I can filter the changes back to the relevant people. Have any of you got similar problems and more importantly working solutions. I would appreciate any feedback.
