Comments on the checklist

Good suggestion about recording the capability/DEX revision Tim.

The revision of both DEXs and capabilities is in the XML:

rcs.revision="$Revision: 1.14 $" development.folder="dvlp"

It is also displayed in the top frame of the Capability:

Capability (C019): assigning_approvals - Assigning an Approval

Date: 2004/05/12 09:24:22
Revision: 1.16

However, the revision is not displayed in the DEXs - not difficult to add

It would also be easy to provide a summary page on the DEX displaying the revisions of the capabilities that have been used.

It would also probably be useful to display the revisions of the modules used by the capabilities.

I will add this to the list of DEX issues: dexlib/docs/issues/issues.xml

Regards
Rob

Subject: [plcs] Comments on the checklist

Dear All,

I have added some thoughts using the revision control in Word to the attached document for consideration.

In addition to the checklist it seems apparant that the models are constantly moving & it is difficult to understand if the comments are still relevant by the time they are received. I think that we should at least record the version of the capability against which the comments were raised in addition to the date.

I believe that we will have the same problem when it comes to reviewing at the Dex level. That is, which versions of the capabilities were part of the Dex on a specific date when the review was done? If this could be automated it would be useful - almost like an internal release system against which we could record comments.

Cheers,

Tim
