Maximum diagrams per element

Maximum diagrams per element

Description

Maximum diagrams defining an operator, a state, or an action. Parameter: maximum value (e.g.: ‘7’)

Rationale

This enforces compliance with a specific modeling standard by placing an upper bound on the number of graphical diagrams for each model element.

Verification

This rule checks all operators, state machines, state machine actions/states, and variables in the model. It retrieves the Number of diagrams per element metric associated to each element.

The rule fails if the limit exceeds the authorized maximum.

Resolution

Modify the offending element to reduce its number of diagrams, as detailed in the rule failure message.

Customization

This rule depends on the Number of diagrams per element metric, that must be included in the package. If you customize the ID of this metric, you must provide it when instantiating the rule, using the parameter metric_id.

Cf. Customization for an example.
