metric.Result

Results from specified metric

Since R2020b

Description

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

Creation

Syntax

metric_result = metric.Result

Description

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

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
