Checking for Consistency

Consistency checking confirms that the analysis model conforms to CA Gen rules. Where a model does conform to these rules, it is said to be in a consistent state.

CA Gen automates consistency checking of the model at the data, activity, and interaction levels. It can selectively perform the checks that are applicable to analysis.

After consistency checking is performed, the analysis model can be assumed to be consistent with CA Gen rules. However, a model that is in a consistent state may still not fully and accurately represent the business area.
