ARCH.109 Consolidate traceability between model elements at system level and model elements at operational level

RCAMT-318 - Populate Confluence page for activity definition: ARCH.109 Consolidate traceability between model elements at system level and model elements at operational level Finished

GoalTraceability between model elements at system level and model elements at operational level established.
Requirements met by this process stepNone defined
InputsAll relevant model elements on operational level and system level
OutputsAMOD-104 System level - operational level traceability report
Methodology

Identify a model element to be considered in the system architecture layer:

Check if the model element already possesses a relationship to a corresponding model element at operational level. If that is the case, check if that relationship is reasonable and correct.

All elements that are present on the system analysis layer as a result of a Capella transition are automatically provided with Realisation Links between themselves and their source operational-level elements. This is the preferred solution for assuring correct traceability in the model. If no Realisation Links can be automatically generated for a given model element, establish a new Generic Trace relationship between them.

Repeat the above steps until all model elements at system level possess either Realisation Links or an outgoing Generic Trace relationship to at least one corresponding model element at operational level. Afterwards, check once again whether all of those relationships are correct.

Guidance on creating Generic Traces:

  • Right click on the system-level model element in the Capella Explorer → Wizards → Trace Manager
  • Add a new outgoing generic trace relationship from the system-level model element to the corresponding operational-level model element
