Package
In objectiF RM, a package is a folder that can contain a wide variety of elements and which you use to structure the entire project content.
Create packages
You can create, import, or model packages manually in a package diagram. You can recognize a package in the system by this icon:
 |
Standard icon for packages |
 |
Standard icon for packages of type Systemcontext |
 |
Standard icon for packages of type Document |
When you create new packages, you can use the subordinate stereotypes, such as Requirements or TestCases, to indicate which elements are to be created in a package. If, for example, you only want requirements to be created in one package and test cases only in another, create one Requirements package and another TestCases package.
Stereotyp
Der Stereotyp von Packages ist <<Package>>. Sie benötigen den Stereotypen, wenn Sie Dokumentvorlagen, Abfragen, Formulare erstellen oder im Tool nach einem Package suchen. Aber auch wenn Sie neue Muster erstellen, bestimmen Sie über den Stereotypen, auf welchen Elementtypen, das Muster später angeboten werden soll.
Im Fenster Stereotypen finden Sie den Stereotypen Package auf oberster Ebene unter P. Darunter sind weitere Sub-Stereotypen angelegt, die Sie erweitern oder durch benutzerdefinierte Eigenschaften anpassen können. Eigenschaften müssen nicht für jeden Sub-Stereotypen extra definiert werden, da die Eigenschaften vom Hauptstereotypen weitervererbt werden.
