Sequence diagram system
A method of generating a test sequence diagram includes: linking a first action of the plurality of actions with a second action of the plurality of actions and generating a test sequence diagram which maintains the linking.
1. A method of generating a test sequence diagram comprising:
inputting a plurality of actions for a hot-fire test into a sequence diagram tool on a computer;
linking a first action of the plurality of actions with a second action of the plurality of actions using the sequence diagram tool;
generating a test sequence diagram which maintains the linking using the sequence diagram tool;
editing said first action of the plurality of actions in said test diagram, thereby causing said edits to affect a corresponding change in the second action as a result of said linking.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein inputting a plurality of actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
inputting a first valve actuation as the first action.
3. A method as recited in claim 2 , wherein inputting a plurality of actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
inputting a second valve actuation as the second action.
4. A method as recited in claim 3 , wherein linking the first action of the plurality of actions with the second action of the plurality of actions further comprises:
linking the first action with the second action with a delay.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein inputting a plurality of actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
inputting an event as the first action.
6. A method as recited in claim 5 , wherein linking the first action of the plurality of actions with the second action of the plurality of actions further comprises:
linking activation of a first valve in response to the event.
7. A method as recited in claim 6 , wherein linking the first action of the plurality of actions with the second action of the plurality of actions further comprises:
closing the first valve.
8. A method as recited in claim 6 , wherein inputting a plurality of actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
opening the first valve.
9. A method as recited in claim 6 , wherein linking the first action of the plurality of actions with the second action of the plurality of actions further comprises:
linking the event to a time period.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of inputting a plurality of actions for a hot-fire test further comprises entering said plurality of actions into a computerized database and wherein said step of linking a first action of the plurality of actions with a second action of the plurality of actions comprises linking a first computer entry corresponding to said first action and a second computer entry corresponding to said second action such that an alteration to said first or second computer entry affects a corresponding alteration in the other of said first or second computer entry.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of linking a first action of the plurality of actions with a second action of the plurality of actions creates a link between said first action and said second action such that an alteration to one of said first or second action causes a corresponding alteration to the other of said first or second action.
12. A method of generating a test sequence diagram comprising:
inputting a plurality of valve actions for a hot-fire test into a sequence diagram tool on a computer;
linking a first action of said plurality of valve actions with a second action of said plurality of valve actions using the sequence diagram tool; and
generating a test sequence diagram which maintains the linking using the sequence diagram tool; and
editing said first action of the plurality of actions in said test diagram, thereby causing said edits to affect a corresponding change in the second action as a result of said linking.
13. A method as recited in claim 12 , wherein inputting the plurality of valve actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
inputting a first valve actuation as a first valve action of the plurality of valve actions.
14. A method as recited in claim 13 , wherein inputting the plurality of valve actions for the hot-fire test further comprises:
inputting a second valve action as a second valve action of the plurality of valve actions.
15. A method as recited in claim 14 , wherein linking the first action of said plurality of valve actions with the second action of said plurality of valve actions further comprises:
linking the first action with the second action with a delay.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein said step of linking a first action of said plurality of valve actions with a second action of said plurality of valve actions creates a link between said first action and said second action such that an alteration to one of said first or second action causes a corresponding alteration to the other of said first or second action.
17. A method of generating a test sequence diagram for a hot-fire test comprising:
inputting a plurality of valve actions into a sequence diagram tool on a computer, wherein the plurality of valve actions comprise opening an oxygen valve, opening an ignition valve, and opening a fuel valve;
linking the action of opening the ignition valve with the action of opening the fuel valve with a delay using the sequence diagram tool; and
generating a test sequence diagram which maintains the delay using the sequence diagram tool: and
editing said first action of the plurality of actions in said test diagram, thereby causing said edits to affect a corresponding change in the second action as a result of said linking.
18. A method as recited in claim 17 , wherein said linking further comprises:
adjusting the delay.
19. A method as recited in claim 18 , wherein said generating further comprises:
generating the test sequence diagram which maintains the linking in response to the adjusting.
20. The method of claim 10 , wherein said step of generating a test sequence diagram which maintains the linking further comprises generating a visual representation of a test sequence, and wherein said visual representation comprises a representation of said linking.
21. The method of claim 17 , wherein said step of linking the action of opening the ignition valve with the action of opening the fuel valve with a delay creates a link between the action of opening the ignition valve and the action of opening the fuel valve with a delay such that an alteration to one of said action of opening the ignition valve and said action of opening the fuel valve with a delay causes a corresponding alteration to the other of said action of opening the ignition valve and said action of opening the fuel valve with a delay.
