OK

Prerequisites


 

We will begin by constructing a simple behaviour model by drawing a couple of scenarios as basic message sequence charts (bMSCs) and then sequencing the scenarios by means of a high-level message sequence chart (hMSC). The scenarios will represent logging in to a website in order to check email.

 

Open the MSC file

1.Open the new container file for the MSC (created in the prerequisites) with the default LTSA-MSC Editor type from the Navigator view as shown below.

 

2.Click on the "MSC Editor" tab.  You should see a white editing canvas with one box labelled init.

3.To start building the MSC select new bMSC from the toolbar. It is the third button from the left of the toolbar. A dialog box will pop up asking for the name of the new bMSC.

 

 

4.Type in "Login" and press ok.  A new tab will be created in the MSC editor page, and you will be presented with a white screen.
