Viewing Example Models

Step 1

1) Open Windows Explorer and go to the "examples" folder in the installed folder ("C:\Program Files (x86)\StarUML\modules\RE-Tools\examples folder" in this example).
2) Double-click to open “RE-Tools v3.0 Examples.uml”.

---

Step 2

Once the project is opened, "Model Explorer" should display the following example model names:

• "i* Framework
• "NFR Framework"
• "KAOS"
• "Problem Frames"
• "RE BPMN"
• "RE Use Case"
• "RE Class"
• "Extensible Propagation"
• "Integrated Model"

---

Step 3

1) Click "+" symbol in front of a desirable model folder to expand (the "+" symbol in front of “NFR Framework” model folder in this example). The contained diagrams, nodes and links will be displayed, including "SIG1" as shown.

---

Step 4

1) Double-click to open a diagram name ("SIG1" in this example).
2) The associated diagram will be displayed in the middle.

---

Step 5

1) Right-click at a node or link in the diagram ("Confidentiality[Account]" node in this example) to view the pull-down menu, then click "Tagged Values" to open the Tagged Value Editor dialog. (Alternatively, click the node then press Ctrl-F7 to open the Tagged Values Editor.)
2) The attribute sheet (called "Tagged Definition Set" in the diagram) for the selected node should be displayed ("NFR Softgoal" in this example). View the associated attributes.
3) Click at another node or link to view how its tagged values are specified.
4) Click "Close".

---

Step 6

1) Repeat the process with other example models. For example, click the + symbol in front of "RE BPMN", then double-click to open "Supported Model Elements" diagram.
2) The associated "Supported Model Elements" diagram will be opened in the middle.
3) Right-click at a node or link to view the pull-down menu, then click "Tagged Values" to open the Tagged Value Editor dialog.
4) View how the tagged values are specified for the selected model element. Experiment with changing some tagged values to see how the icon is immediately changed in the diagram to reflect the new value.
5) Select another node or link model element to view the associated tagged values.
6) Click "Close".
