Maximum predefined operators in diagram

Maximum predefined operators in diagram

Description

Maximum graphical primitive operator instances within a diagram. This metric also includes textual equations. Parameter: maximum value (e.g.: ‘15’)

The rule parameter is an integer value describing the maximum authorized number of predefined operators. Default value is 15.

Rationale

This enforces compliance with a specific modeling standard by placing an upper bound on the number of predefined operators that may be instantiated in a diagram.

Verification

This rule checks all graphical diagrams in the model. It retrieves the Number of predef ops in diagram metric associated to each diagram, and fails if the count exceeds the authorized maximum.

Resolution

Modify the diagram to reduce the number of predefined operator instances.

Customization

This rule depends on the Number of predef ops in diagram 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.
