archive

If you want to perform measurements on a system that you are building, the scopes of interest are the first four listed: Feature, Class, Cluster and System. Information on either of these scopes will be provided by the development environment (as with EiffelStudio 5.x); alternatively, you could get it simply by parsing the source of your system.

Users may want to archive the result of the system they are working on. To create an archive is basically the same as saving a measure .

Comparing to an archive

The main goal of archives is comparing archives one to another. In order to compare your project to an archived file, you must select the Metric archive tab of the metric tool.

The goal is to load the archive of a (preferably different) project, to compare the archived measures to the system's. You can select your current archive or any other archive, against a reference archive file.

Once the archives are selected, click the Compare button to start the comparison.
