| [epf-dev] IMPORTANT: Check OpenUP Structure After Changing Method Elements |
|
Hello, One thing I should have notified you about after refactoring
OpenUP last week is that it is now necessary to verify the integrity of the architecture
after making structural changes to the process. It’s important to assure
that the Intent, Solution, and Management packages don’t have any
dependencies on each other. Changes were checked in during the last 24 hours
that violate this constraint. I’m going to try and fix it this afternoon. Here’s the section from the Architecture Notebook that
describes how to do this (I just added it). The Notebook can be found in the
OpenUP Method Authoring Framework in CVS. Check
Architecture Integrity After Changing the Process Structure
All structural
changes made to the process must be validated to assure the changes don't
violate the architectural integrity of the process. These kinds of changes
include applying variability to elements, adding or moving elements, or
associating elements to one another such as primary/secondary roles,
input/output artifacts, etc. Verify the integrity
of the architecture by bringing up the OpenUP configuration and turning off one
of the three sub-processes (Intent, Solution, or Management). There should be
no errors in any other method element package. There should also be no errors
in the CP packages for the other two sub-processes. Any errors must be
corrected before the content can be checked in. Once the errors have been
fixed, turn the package back on and repeat the inspection on each of the other
two packages. ____________________ Jim Ruehlin, IBM Rational RUP Content Developer Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) Committer email: jruehlin@xxxxxxxxxx phone: 760.505.3232 fax:
