Models Map Tab

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
| A business process model. Tip: Double-click a model to view model details in a separate window. For user interface details, see Model Details/Model Activity Details Dialog Box.
| Indicates that the model at the tip of the arrow is a sub-process of the model at the tail of the arrow.
| A bi-directional link, indicating that the model at one end of the line is a continuation of the model at the other end of the line.
<map area> | Displays all the business process models imported to ALM, and the hierarchical connections between the models. Select a model in the map area that you want to analyze, and then click the Quality Analysis tab. Tip: Hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the map image.

Quality Analysis Tab Toolbar

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
Depth | Defines the number of hierarchical levels, from the root entity down, displayed in the entities pane. Entities displayed in the entities pane are analyzed in the analysis graphs. Standalone Entity. Displays the root entity alone. One Nested Level. Displays the root entity, and entities one level down from the current entity. All Nested Levels. Displays and analyzes the root entity, and all entities leading off from the root entity on all levels.
Include requirement children | Instructs ALM to include in the analysis all child requirements of the requirements linked to the model entities in the entities pane.
Include representative requirements | Instructs ALM to include in the analysis the representative requirements linked to the model entities in the entities pane. Tip: Use this option if representative requirements are linked to tests.
| Refreshes the analysis graphs to include the most up-to-date information.

Quality Analysis Tab Entities Pane

This pane displays the business process model entities that are analyzed in the graphs pane.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
<entities pane> | Displays business process models, activities, and paths that are analyzed in the graphs pane, and hierarchical connections between them. Note: The number of hierarchical levels displayed is determined by the value in the Depth field. An activity that is included in more than one model or path is displayed in the entities pane once. Tip: To change the root entity displayed in the entities pane, select a model in the Models Map tab, or select an entity in the business models tree. Hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Double-click an entity to display entity details.
| A business process model entity.
| A path entity.

This pane displays graphs that analyze the quality of the entities displayed in the entities pane.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
<graph title> | Click a graph title to change the graph's titles and appearance. For user interface details, see .
Requirements graph | Displays the coverage status of requirements linked to the model entities displayed in the entities pane. Note: The scope of requirements included in the graph is determined by the Include requirement children and Include representative requirements options.
Tests graph | Displays the execution status of tests linked to the model entities displayed in the entities pane. Note: The tests graph includes tests that are linked to the requirements included in the Requirements graph, and tests that are linked directly to the entities displayed in the entities pane.
<legend> | Displays the graph categories and their corresponding color. Tip: Right-click a category to change its color.
Defects graph | Displays the severity of defects linked to the model entities displayed in the entities pane. Note: The defects graph includes defects linked to the requirements in the Requirements graph, and to the tests in the Tests graph.
Last Generated | The date and time that the graph data was last refreshed. Click Generate to refresh the data.
| View Graph in Full Screen. Opens the graph in a new window and maximizes its display. In the new window you can customize the graph view and save the graph data. For user interface details, see .
<graph area> | You can perform the following actions in the graph area: Drill down to the graph's data by clicking on a segment in the graph. For task details, see Generate an entity graph. Right-click an area in the graph to change its color. Hover over a bar to view a tooltip containing the area's category, x-axis, and y-axis values.
