Metrics Pane

Go Up to GUI of Audits and Metrics

QA Metrics dialog box > Start

The "Metrics Results" is the table in the Metrics pane. To open the Metrics pane, open the QA Metrics dialog box and click the Start button. As the Metrics processing accomplishes, the Metrics pane opens automatically.

The "Metrics Results" table displays the report about Metrics results. Use the Metrics pane to view and export Metrics results.

Each time you process the Metrics for the same project, the Metrics results display in the "Metrics Results" table in the new tabbed page. The page with the most recent Metrics results is active.

The "Metrics Results" table rows display the elements (namespaces, classes) that were analyzed, and the table columns display the values of the selected metrics. Context menus of the table cells enable you to navigate to the source code, view descriptions of the metrics, and produce charts.
