Graph Window
In this window, the results from the reprioritization are displayed in a graph.
Each requirement's position is shown with an icon. This icon can either be a "+" or
one or more circles, to tell releases apart. The requirements marked with a "+"
have no release number assigned. The number of circles are decided in
alphabetical/numerical order, for instance if we have releases
1, 2 and 3 they would have one, two and three circles respectively.
How to use this window:
- To show the full requirement description you can select the requirement
to show the information about it in the text field in the upper right corner of the
window. Another way to see the full requirement description is to hold the mouse pointer
over the requirement to see the description as a tooltip.
- To select a requirement, click on the icon in the graph.
- A requirement can be added to the Root-cause matrix either by double-clicking
on the graph icon or by first selecting it and then pressing the Add to Matrix button/
selecting the Add to Matrix menu item.
- Dependencies between requirements can be visualized in the graph by holding
down the shift key and pressing a mouse button and dragging a line between two
requirements. When the mouse button is released over the second requirement a dialog
will be shown where you can enter a description for the dependency. The description
area can be left empty if not description is wanted.
- The graph can be saved as a png-file, this is done by pressing the Save Graph
button.
- For visibility issues, the graph axes can be inverted by pressing the Invert
Graph button.
- Another visibility feature is the option to hide the dependencies and the text
for dependencies and requirements by selecting the hide options from the Edit menu.
- If the Root-cause matrix window is minimized or closed, you can open it by
pressing the Show Matrix button.
- The support lines displayed in the graph can be switched between two different modes.
Either fixed values can be used to draw the support lines or values relative based on the
requirements' positions in the graph. This is done by choosing Change view under the
Edit menu.
