Using black-box testing properties

The MappingPolicy, DisplayMessagesToSelf, and MappingPolicy properties are available to facilitate black-box testing.

About this task

The following scenarios show the effects of the new animation properties on the animated sequence diagram:

  • If you are using an animated sequence diagram, which is a clone of the existing sequence diagram, the mapping relies on the property settings of the original diagram.
  • While animating the model, if you create an animated sequence diagram and drag animated objects on it, the mapping is done as if the MappingPolicy property is set to ObjectAndItsParts. This mapping cannot be changed.
  • While still animating the model, if you create a new, non-animated sequence diagram and set the DisplayMessagesToSelf and MappingPolicy properties, then start animating the new sequence diagram; the animated sequence diagram maps its instance lines according to the property settings.
