Metrics Diagram
As part of the Component Testing wizard, Test RealTime provides static testability
metrics to help you pinpoint the critical components of your application. You can use
these static metrics to prioritize your test efforts.
The graph displays a simple two-axis plot based on the static metrics calculated by
the wizard. The actual metrics on each axis can be changed in the Metrics Diagram
Options dialog box.
Each unit (function, package or class, depending on the current Configuration
language) is represented by a checkbox located at the intersection of the selected
testability metrics values.
Move the mouse pointer over a checkbox to display a tooltip with the names of the
associated units. To test a unit, select the corresponding checkbox.
Test RealTime also provides a Static Metrics Viewer, which is independent from the
Component Testing wizard and can be accessed at any time.
To access the wizard Metrics Diagram:
1.
From the Start Page, run the Component Testing wizard.
2. From
the
Components under Test page, click Metrics Diagram.
To select a unit for test:
1. If
necessary,
click
Options to set the two most relevant metrics for your
application. This displays each unit at the intersection point of the two values.
2.
Move the mouse pointer over a checkbox to display a tooltip with the name of
the unit.
3.
Select the most relevant units to test. Units under test are displayed in the list
box.
4. Click
OK to validate the selection.
Advanced Options
The Advanced Options dialog box allows you to specify a series of advanced test
generation parameters in the Component Testing wizard. In most cases, you can
leave the default values.
The actual options available in this dialog box depend on the programming language
of the current Configuration:
