Generating the Functional Analysis Report
In HOPEX Application Design a MS Word report template is used to describe the functional specification of IT projects. The report is based in particular on the modeling of use cases, actors and application processes of the project.
To be visible in the report, modeled elements must be within the scope of functional analysis; they must therefore be attached to packages of stereotype "Use case group", "Data model group", "User interface group" or "Actors profile group".
When information exists, the generated report presents:
• actors of the system (system actors or users). These are actors contained in the "Project name - Actors" package, or any other package of "Actors profile group" stereotype attached to the project.
• use case diagrams supplemented by description of each use case. These are use cases contained in the "Project name - Use cases" package, or any other package of "Use case group" stereotype attached to the project.
• dynamics of user interfaces represented by system process diagrams contained in the "Project name - User interfaces" package, or any other package of "User interface group" stereotype attached to the project.
• business data models contained in a package of "Data Model" stereotype, under the package of project use cases.
• state machine diagrams contained in a package of "Data model" stereotype, under the package of project data models.
To create a functional analysis report on an application design project:
1. Click the navigation menu, then Current Design Project.
The access to the Current Design Projectnavigation pane requires that you have defined a working environment on the project concerned. See "The Current Design Project pane", page 21.2. In the navigation window, select Functionality and Rules Design.
3. In the edit area, click the Functional Analysis Report tile.
4. Click New.
The report creation wizard opens.
5. Enter the name of the report.
6. Click Suivant then OK.
To open the generated document:
Click the icon of the document and select Documentation > Open.
