Running Metrics

Together adds a full range of QA metrics to run against your code. The results can be compiled in a separate QA report, or in document generation you perform for your project. In Together, metrics can be run on several levels of your development:

• Project: Run metrics on all packages and classes/interfaces in a project.
• Package: Run metrics on all the classes/interfaces within a package.
• Class: Run metrics on only a particular class/interface.

To run metrics:

1. In the UML Explorer, UML Navigator, or Packages views, right click on any of the resources above.

   
   

   NB: You can select multiple elements in multiple projects or multiple projects using CTRL+CLICK.




2. Select Quality Assurance > Metrics:

   
   




3. The metrics Run QA dialog opens. Select which resources to process from the list. Click Preferences to select which metric categories/properties you want to run against the selection, or accept the current QA set. For more information on using the QA Preferences page, see QA Preferences. Click OK to run the metrics.




4. The results display in the Metric view:

   
   

NB: Some metric results in the table appear with red or blue icons beside them:

• A red icon indicates the result is above the upper limit set for this metric.
• A blue icon indicates the result is below the lower limit set for this metric.
• The absence of an icon indicates the result is between the upper and lower limits of the metric.
