Aperçu

Les Exigences Métier sont souvent stockées sous forme de documents texte, ce qui entraîne une mauvaise traçabilité, des exigences perdues et une conception de logiciel erronée. Le gestionnaire de spécifications d’Enterprise Architect 11 peut aider à résoudre les problèmes de traçabilité tout en offrant la commodité d’un traitement de texte moderne. Cela permet aux modélisateurs et aux collecteurs de besoins de travailler dans un document familier comme l’interface, tandis qu’Edit Architect agit en coulisses pour construire une structure de modèle bien structurée et réutilisable qui peut être utilisée pour piloter et valider des solutions concrètes.

Yes. The Specification Manager can certainly be used in a number of different roles, not just Requirements Management.

Managers - can use the Specification Manger to create reports and policy documents that can be fully traced down to the paragraph level.

Testers - The Specification Manager has built in testing and review capabilities useful for soliciting feedback on individual elements, quickly and easily identify which elements have tests currently assigned and which still need testing (using the Indicators).

Requirement Analysts - as shown.

Developers - can consume specifications in their entirety or as smaller chunks using the Specification Manager.

Project Managers - can easily switch between the Specification Manager and the Gantt view to get a complete view of the current project and where the team is at.

Business Analysts - can create use cases via the specification manger and switch between the structured scenarios and specification manger to capture their requirements in complete detail.

Not every Indicator was shown during the webinar. A comprehensive description of each icon is listed below:

Column Header Indicator Indicates that...
Relationship The selected element has at least one relationship to another element, which is shown in the Traceability window.
Resource There is at least one resource assigned to a task on the element, in the Project Management window.
Risk There is at least one Risk item defined for the element, in the Project Management window.
Maintenance There is at least one Maintenance item defined for the element, in the Maintenance window.
Test There is at least one Test item defined for the element, in the Testing window.
File The selected element has at least one associated file, defined on the File page of the element Properties dialog.
Discussion There is a discussion thread on this element, in the Element Discussions window.
Document There is a linked document for this element.

Both the Relationship matrix and the Specification Manager are based on model elements. As a result, you are free to build and maintain those elements using the Specification Manager, Relationship Matrix or both tools.

Once the model element have been created in Enterprise Architect, you are free to start using the Specification Manager immediately.

Enterprise Architect has been designed from the ground up to be a collaborative team based modeling tool. Enterprise Architect has user locking down to an element level.

See the Enterprise Architect User Guide for details Team Development in Enterprise Architect.

Yes. Auditing is a project-level feature that enables model administrators to record model changes in Enterprise Architect.

Right-click an Element and use the Context menu to create a child Element. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcut of Crtl + Shift +N.

Child Elements are easily identified by the collapsible regions to the left of the Specification manager window.
