metric.Result

Results from specified metric

Since R2020b

Description

A metric.Result object contains the results for a specified metric.

Creation

Description

example

metric_result = metric.Result creates a handle to a metric result object.

Alternatively, if you collect results by executing a metric.Engine object, using the getMetrics function on the engine object returns the collected metric.Result objects in an array.

Properties

expand all

Metric identifier for the metric that calculated the results, returned as a string.

Example: 'TestCasesPerRequirementDistribution'

Project artifacts for which the metric is calculated, returned as a structure or an array of structures. For each artifact that the metric analyzed, the returned structure contains these fields:

  • UUID — Unique identifier of the artifact.

  • Name — Name of the artifact.

  • ParentUUID — Unique identifier of the file that contains the artifact.

  • ParentName — Name of the file that contains the artifact.

Value of the metric result for the specified metric and artifacts, returned as an integer, string, double vector, or structure. For a list of model testing metrics and their result values, see Model Testing Metrics.

Scope of the metric results, returned as a structure. The scope is the unit or component for which the metric collected results. The structure contains these fields:

  • UUID — Unique identifier of the unit or component.

  • Name — Name of the unit or component.

  • ParentUUID — Unique identifier of the file that contains the unit or component.

  • ParentName — Name of the file that contains the unit or component.

User data provided by the metric algorithm, returned as a string.

Use a metric.Engine object to collect metric results on the design artifacts in a project.

Open a project containing models that you want to analyze. For this example, in the MATLAB® Command Window, enter:

openExample("slcheck/ExploreTestingMetricDataInModelTestingDashboardExample");
openProject("cc_CruiseControl");

Create a metric.Engine object. You can use the metric.Engine object to collect the metric results for the current project.

metric_engine = metric.Engine();

Collect results for the metric slcomp.OverallCyclomaticComplexity by executing the metric engine. For more information on the metric, see Model Maintainability Metrics.

execute(metric_engine,'slcomp.OverallCyclomaticComplexity');

Use the function getMetrics to access the results. Assign the array of result objects to the results variable.

results = getMetrics(metric_engine,'slcomp.OverallCyclomaticComplexity');

Access the metric results data by using the properties of the metric.Result objects in the results array.

for n = 1:length(results)
    disp(['Model: ',results(n).Scope.Name])
    disp(['  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: ',num2str(results(n).Value)])
end
Model: cc_DriverSwRequest
  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: 9
Model: cc_ThrottleController
  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: 4
Model: cc_ControlMode
  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: 22
Model: cc_CruiseControl
  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: 1
Model: cc_LightControl
  Overall Design Cyclomatic Complexity: 4

For more information on how to collect metrics for design artifacts, see Collect Model Maintainability Metrics Programmatically.

Collect metric results on the requirements-based testing artifacts in a project. Then, access the data by using the metric.Result objects.

Open a project that contains models and testing artifacts. For this example, in the MATLAB Command Window, enter:

openExample("slcheck/ExploreTestingMetricDataInModelTestingDashboardExample");
openProject("cc_CruiseControl");

Create a metric.Engine object. You can use the metric.Engine object to collect metric results for the current project.

metric_engine = metric.Engine();

Update the trace information for metric_engine to ensure that the artifact information is up to date.

updateArtifacts(metric_engine)

Collect results for the metric 'RequirementsPerTestCase' by using the execute function on the metric.Engine object.

execute(metric_engine,'RequirementsPerTestCase');

Use the function getMetrics to access the results. Assign the array of result objects to the results variable.

results = getMetrics(metric_engine,'RequirementsPerTestCase');

Access the metric results data by using the properties of the metric.Result objects in the array.

for n = 1:length(results)
    disp(['Test Case: ',results(n).Artifacts(1).Name])
    disp(['  Number of Requirements: ',num2str(results(n).Value)])
end
