Support for Feature Trees

Question

Feature Trees are visual a way to organize requirements in software. Apart from Use Case diagrams, UML offers no visual modeling of requirements.

It seems it would be possible to do feature trees in DOT. But from my (basic) understanding of DOT, it looks like an advanced feature (because of the way the tree is drawn).

It would be useful if there was a PlantUML mode such as @startfeaturetree/@endfeaturetree

Here's the example I posted on stackoverflow:

              Cookies
                 /
                /
Web Browser --------------------------
               \     HTML
                \    /
                 \-------- Export Bookmarks
                  \     \
                   \    XML
                Bookmarks

Answer 1

Ok, we will propose something very simple, to start a discussion.

Just stay tuned : we will post a message here when a first alpha version will be ready.

I should point out that my example is limited - have a look at http://www.seilevel.com/ba-resources/rml-requirements-visual-models/feature-tree/ for more complex examples.
