UMLTP2 — A stereotype Procedure should be incorporated as superclass of TestCase, TestExecutionSchedule and TestProcedure

The concpetual model (Clause 7) and profile specification (Clause 8) uses the term 'procedure' as parent concept for the test-specific procedures introduced by UTP, which are TestCase, TestExecutionSchedule and TestProcedure.

While the test-specific procedures are reflected by stereotype definitions in Clause 8, the rather abstract concept 'procedure' is not represented as stereotype.

No added value by a stereotype Procedure

Having a stereotype <<Procedure>> would not add any value to the language.
The UML representation of the concept 'Procedure' is given by Behavior. A stereotype <<Procedure>> would not add any additional property. Therefore, the FTF decided to close this issue with no change.

Instead of creating a new stereotype, the FTF decided to introduce an additional derived tag definition into <<ProcedurInvocation>> of type Behavior that retrieves the invoked Behavior from the underlying UML metaclasses.
