ElementConstraints:
Signature: no_association_to_use_case() : Boolean;
Description: UseCases can not have Associations to UseCases specifying the same subject.
Expression: true
Signature: must_have_name() : Boolean;
Description: A UseCase must have a name.
Expression: self.name -> notEmpty ()
Signature: cannot_include_self() : Boolean;
Description: A use case cannot include use cases that directly or indirectly include
it.
Expression: not self.allIncludedUseCases()->includes(self)
Signature: binary_associations() : Boolean;
Description: UseCases can only be involved in binary Associations.
Expression: true
Operations:
Signature: allIncludedUseCases() : UseCase;
Description: The query allIncludedUseCases() returns the transitive closure of all use
cases (directly or indirectly) included by this use case.
The OCL used here is not normative.Editor's notes: in is a reserved word.
Expression: result = self.include->union(self.include->collect(n | n.allIncludedUseCases()))
Original: result = self.include->union(self.include->collect(in | in.allIncludedUseCases()))
