Keep Only Relevant Activity Diagrams in Your Model Folder

Some users like to keep a lot of diagrams in their Creator project – even if they are not (yet) intended for use in test generation. This practice generally quickly leads to violating our guidelines on model complexity which (remember) is defined based on all diagrams in your model  folder (not just the diagrams used for test generation).

Note that all diagrams (and linked spreadsheet files) in the “model” folder of a Conformiq Creator project undergo automatic checking after each saving operation. Creator Workbench performance on project initialization and diagram saving will get affected in particular with 32-bitCreator installations or hardware with less than 16 GB once users keep a lot of (large) diagrams in the Creator project model folder. Finally, the risk to have model loading fail because of modelling errors raise since an error in any diagram will prevent loading the model for test generation.

Some users keep many activity diagrams in the same project “to save work to maintain structure diagrams”. See section Use Structure Diagram( SD) Libraries to Reuse Interfaces across Multiple Projects to address this issue and focus a Creator project each aspect of functionality.
