These relations can be represented by the following traceability properties:
- Realizing relations (use cases classes):
- Realizing Class
- Realizing Element
- All Realizing Elements
- Specifying relations (classes use cases):
- Specifying Use Case
- Specifying Element
- All Specifying Elements
You can create a dependency matrix to visualize these traceability relations. The following steps will show you how to create a dependency matrix the Realizing Class predefined property.
To create a dependency matrix for the Realizing Class predefined property:
- Create a Dependency Matrix diagram.
- Define row and column type element types as follows:
- For the Row Element Type, select
- For the Column Element Type, select Class
- Define row and column scopes as follows:
- For the Row Scope, click > Requirements > MagicTest and select Administration.
- For the column scope, click > Design > MagicTest and select UI.
- Define the Realizing Class property as Dependency Criteria.
- Rebuild the matrix (click in the diagram toolbar).
Defining criteria for visualization of traceability relationships that can be represented by Realizing Class predefined property
The following figure depicts the created Dependency Matrix showing the traceability relationships between use cases and design classes they realize:
