1.0 SCOPE

This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released files.

1.1 Identification

This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

1.2 System overview

The <File::Drawing> program module uses American National Standards for drawings as a model for storing data. The drafting displines practices have evolved over time and have stood the test of time. Any deviation must be a crystal clear advantage. Many of the practices are in place to avoid common and costly human mistakes that obviously a computerize drafting system will not make. A good approach is to make the computerized data structure optimum for computers and have the computer render the computerized data into a form that meets the drafting standards. The File::Drawing program module, uses the Perl program module name as a drawing repository, drawing number combination. The contents of the drawing is contained in the program module file. The <File::Drawing> program module established methods to retrieve contents from a program module drawing file, create an Perl drawing object with the contents, and methods to release and revise the contents in a program module drawing file from a Perl drawing object.

3.7 Possible problems and known errors

There is still much work needed to ensure the quality of this module as follows:

  • State the functional requirements for each method including not only the GO paths but also what to expect for the NOGO paths

  • All the tests are GO path tests. Should add NOGO tests.

  • Add the requirements addressed as # R: comment to the tests

  • Write a program to build a matrix to trace test step to the requirements and vice versa by parsing the # R: comments. Automatically insert the matrix in the module POD.
