UML 2.3 Compatibility
HOPEX System Blueprint Includes UML 2.3 diagrams. This evolution responds to questions of compatibility but is also aimed at benefiting from the extended capabilities of UML 2.3 models.
+ In version MEGA 2009 SP5, is based on the specification of IT projects on UML 1.3. diagrams.
The majority of UML1.3 diagrams are constructions valid under UML2.3.
HOPEX System Blueprint methodology differs little with this new version. Changes intervene on two diagram types:
• the interaction scenario diagram is replaced by the UML 2.3 sequence diagram.
• the state diagram is replaced by the state machine diagram.
Old UML 1.3 diagrams can still be used thanks to an option enabling working with UML1.3 standard. To activate this option:
1. Select Tools > Options.
2. In the left pane of the options window, expand the Compatibility folder then double-click the Diagram sub-older.
3. In the right pane, select the option Display interaction scenario diagrams and state diagrams.
An advanced description of UML 2.3 diagrams is available in the HOPEX UML guide.
