Title: About evolution 1176
Dear Daniel,
Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate it much.

Dear all,
I really am pleased to use
Topcased in my project.
I hope it
is the good location to ask for improvement.
What I really miss and that
is a trouble for me today in using Topcased on the Airbus project I
work on is the following 1176 requirement (2423 seems to be the same demand)
1176 1 Open 4 174 10/07/2007 [Sequence diagram] Add a way to reference
sub-sequence diagrams through a Combined Fragment
2423 1 Open 3 3201 30/03/2009 Navigable
Sequence Diagrams
I would like to add a
Combined Fragment in a sequence diagram which links to a nested
sequence diagram. I need to do it because I would like to have two
different levels of details. I have embedded a sequence diagram into
another one nesting Interaction nodes, but I have not found an easy way
to jump into the nested sequence diagram from the parent one. I know it
is possible to use the Outline browser, but, I think, it would be much
easier if the user can use to context menu of the, for example,
Interaction Operant, to jump into one of available nested diagrams.
Yes, this is clearly a hole in TOPCASED UML today. As you point out,
there are many things that can be done in activity diagram and not in
sequence diagram. In fact, almost all efforts have been put on the
activity diagram as it was considered as a key diagram to design
critical systems (the activity diagram can show all paths of a given UC
which is quite difficult to achieve with sequence diagram). Concerning
the sequence diagram, it has been developped by several partners and it
lacks consistency.So the introduction of interaction operands is not a
simple task as we must first do some refactoring to handle correctly
the
hierarchy of nodes in the outline (combined Fragments for instance).
So I really miss to be able to do with sequence diagram what we can do with
activity diagram and associated call behaviour action. We
could have a reference fragment with link to either:
- Another interaction diagram or interaction node
- Another activity diagram or activity node
- Another use case with attached (interaction or activity
nodes)
So I
do not understand that priority of
those requirements 1176 and 2423 is so low. Today
I add a Note on a fragment to display something as a ref fragment …
As a workaround, you can use the HTML documentation view and put
diagram links. It will give the model reader the possibility to jump
easily from one diagram to another (whatever target diagram kind).
I also have another requirement about
navigation on a use case for
activity diagram. On a
use case, I can add several
Interaction nodes or Activity nodes (with
several diagrams inside each activity or interaction nodes). On
the advanced property of the use case we can add behaviour by selecting one of the Interaction or activity
nodes. Then with use case selection we are proposed by all the diagrams of the selected nodes. I
would be interested to have instead all the
diagrams of all the interaction or activity nodes attached to this use
case … and so to be able to select a behaviour with
all interaction nodes or/and activity nodes I would like to have
You are perfectly right and this is a room of improvment that has
already been identified.Your suggestion seems the good one. Could you
please open a feature request for that?
Thanks
