Terms Used

The following Scope metrics are reported for all types of tests and analysis:

  • Total Files: The number of files from the original selection that the Test Configuration has recognized as being suitable for the selected type of test or analysis.
  • Source Files to Check: The number of files that meet the criteria in the Scope file filters. This is a subset of the total files. For example, if the Scope filter is set with Test only files modified locally enabled, then this metric would report the number of locally-modified files.
  • Total Source Lines: The number of all lines of source code in the 'Source Files to Check'. If a file has been rejected by the Scope file filter, then its lines are not counted.
  • Source Lines to Check: The number of lines that have been accepted by Scope line filters. This is a subset of the total source lines. For example, if the Scope filter is set with Test only lines modified locally enabled, then this metric will report the number of locally-modified lines.

Quality Tasks View
