The NOV-6b Report Template
The NOV-6b report template comes with two parameters:
• The Architecture parameter, which specifies the architecture to be analyzed.
• The Activity Subset parameter, which is an optional parameter. This parameter is used to reduce the scope of the study to a subset of selected activities. In this case, only the state machines attached to the selected activities are considered. If this parameter is not set, all the state machines attached to an activity are taken into account.
The NOV-6b Operational State Transition Description Chapter
This chapter lists all the state machines attached to the selected activities. The report starts with a simple table of the state machines (short name, long name, comment) and the linked activities.
For each state machine which has a describing diagram or at least one event, a dedicated paragraph is generated with its title being the name of the state machine.
This paragraph displays:
• the comment of the state machine
• the (commented) describing diagrams
• the events (states) with their name and comment in a table.
• the successions (transitions) with their name, comment and source and target events.
