Metrics catalog¶
The full catalog of every metric Understand computes — with each metric's ID, definition, and scope — is generated from the product each release:
Popular entries: Cyclomatic · CountLineCode · CountClassCoupled
In Understand you can also open it from Metrics → Metrics Documentation, or from the info button in the Metrics Browser or the Metrics Export dialog (it matches your installed build).
The Metrics Browser (Metrics menu) shows the metrics computed for the entity or architecture you select (in a tree of architectures with metrics), and lets you sort, filter, and export them. For summary metrics across the whole project, use Project → Home (or the toolbar's Home button) — see Reading the Home dashboard.
Understand what the metrics mean¶
For task-oriented guidance rather than a raw list, see the Metrics section:
- What metrics does Understand have? — the categories and how to read them.
- Interpret key metrics — what the most-used metrics actually tell you.
- What does Cyclomatic Complexity mean? — a worked example for one important metric.
