 +===== Model Graphs and Test Visualization =====
 +In addition to the test case list described in the previous section, you can view the test cases in graphs:

 +  * {{wiki:overview:tut_new_model_graph_cov.png?linkonly| Coverage}}
 +  * {{wiki:overview:tut_new_model_graph_msc.png?linkonly | Test Case}}
  
 +Click on each of the graphs on {{wiki:overview:tut_model_btn_graphs.png?250}}. 
  
-===== Model Graphs and Test Visualization =====+The graphs should be self-explanatory. 
 + 
 +===== Make Changes ===== 
 +As you followed this tutorial, you should have noticed that you can easily make changes to the model and re-generate test cases with minimum effort. 
 + 
 +Here are a few more changes you can make to the model: 
 +  * aligning states by selecting (marking) states and clicking on one of the alignment options from the toolbar 
 +  * re-routing transitions with transition context menu: 
 +    * {{wiki:idescreen:ide_model_btn_reroute_1.png?16}} - refreshing transition segments 
 +    * {{wiki:idescreen:ide_model_btn_reroute_2.png?16}} - changing transition source and/or target state 
 +  * refreshing all outgoing and incoming transitions of a state with state context menu {{wiki:idescreen:ide_model_btn_reroute_1.png?16}} 
 +  * styling the states and transitions through [[../ide_model#state_properties|State Properties]] and [[../ide_model#transition_properties | Transition Properties]]. 
 + 
 +You may also us //Box// node to group or highlight a set of states.
  
 +If you are modeling a workflow or process, you can use //Swimlanes// to distinguish multiple different process and actor.
