Syntax

openArtifact(metricEngine,artifactID)

Description

openArtifact(metricEngine,artifactID) opens the artifact that has the specified identifier in the specified metric.Engine object. The editor that opens depends on the type of artifact, for example:

  • Requirements open in the Requirements Editor.

  • Test cases and test results open in the Test Manager.

Note that there is also a function openArtifact (Fixed-Point Designer) in the Fixed-Point Designer™ documentation.

Examples

collapse all

Collect metric results on the number of requirements linked to each test in a project. Then, open one of the test cases in the Test Manager.

Open the project. For this example, in the MATLAB® Command Window, enter:

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

Create a metric.Engine object for the 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 executing the metric engine.

execute(metric_engine,'RequirementsPerTestCase');

Use the function getMetrics to access the results.

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

Open the first test case in the Test Manager by using the artifact identifier.

openArtifact(metric_engine,results(1).Artifacts(1).UUID)

Input Arguments

collapse all

Metric engine object for which you collected metric results, specified as a metric.Engine object.

Artifact identifier, specified as a character vector or string scalar. In a metric.Result object, the Artifacts field contains a structure for each artifact that the result traces to. To get the identifier for an artifact, use the UUID field of the structure for the artifact.
