Coverage analysis is based on the calculation of your model parameters. For this purpose, metrics are introduced. You can calculate metrics for the selected elements using the predefined metric suites. Also you can create your own metrics suites from a scratch or based on the predefined metric suites.
Metric is an item of information about some specific aspect of the model. The collection of various metrics can be used to evaluate the current state of your model. Calculated at regular intervals they can help tracking the evolution of the model development. The results of metric calculation are stored in the metric tables.
