Validate Build Stability
Within the RUP, Validate Build Stability is an activity within the Test discipline.
This activity involves validating that the current build is stable enough for detailed testing and evaluating.
value
The term value is a synonym of data value.
A value pin is an input pin that provides a particular value to a given action that does not come from an incoming object flow on an activity edge. A value pin appears as an input pin with the value specification next to it.
value pin
value specification
A value specification is a specification of a (possibly empty) set of instances. The UML defines four kinds of value specifications:
![]() | expression |
![]() | instance value |
![]() | literal specification |
![]() | opaque expression |
value type
A value type is a type that defines instances whose values never change.
A variable is a typed element, within an activity group of structured activity nodes, for passing data between actions indirectly.
variable
variable action
A variable action is an action that involves a variable. There are three kinds of variable actions:
![]() | clear variable action |
![]() | read variable action |
![]() | write variable action |
A variable expression is an ocl Expression that consists of a reference to a variable.
Verify Test Approach
Within the RUP, Verify Test Approach is an activity within the Test discipline.
This activity involves demonstrating that the various techniques outlined in the test strategy will facilitate the planned testing effort.
vertex
A vertex is a state or pseudostate that serves as a source or a target for a transition within a state machine.view
A view is a projection of a model.A view element is a textual and/or graphical projection of one or more model elements.
view element
A view projection is a projection of a set of model elements onto a set of view elements.
A view projection provides a location and a style for each model element in the projection.
visibility
The term visibility refers to the visibility of a given feature with regard to a particular classifier.The term visibility kind refers to an enumeration that contains four values:
visibility kind
![]() | as the given model element can see and use it) |
![]() | outside of its enclosing namespace, even to children) |
![]() | outside of its enclosing namespace only to children) |
![]() | of its enclosing namespace; this is the default) |
vision
Within the Unified Process, a vision is an artifact that describes a general vision of the project's requirements, key features, and main constraints from the customer's point of view.
Within the RUP, the vision is part of the Requirements artifact set.
