8. Data Source Adapters

This chapter gives you an overview about which Data Sources are supported by MQC as base adapters.

The current release of MQC supports the following tools:

For the case there is no adapter, MQC puts at the user’s disposal the possibility of a manual import of Base Measures (see Manual data import for unsupported data sources (Excel Template)).

A second option would be to implement and add a so-called Custom Adapter, see Custom Adapters.

8.1. MES Model Examiner® (MXAM)

MQC supports two types of MXAM report formats:

8.1.1. Standard MXAM Report (.mxmr)

The following example of an MXMR report describes which information is imported by MQC’s MXAM adapter to MQC:

  • from the <RReport> element, specifically the date element: ReportDateTime

  • from the first <subcomponents> element inside an <artifacts> element, the attribute <subComponents name="ExPol"> as ArtifactName and the attribute path as ArtifactPath

MXAM provides guideline and finding result data for each artifact in the MXMR Report. Therefore, each artifact section will be parsed to get the information of all findings and guideline results.

<artifacts result="Aborted" adapterId="com.modelengineers.mxam.tooladapter.matlab" storageNature="Tool artifact">
  <structure>
    <subComponents name="ExPol" path="ExPol">
    </subComponents>
  </structure>
  …
  <summary itemType="Findings">
    <statistic resultType="Review" count="3"/>
    <statistic resultType="Failed" count="66"/>
    <statistic resultType="Info" count="28"/>
    <statistic resultType="Passed" count="12"/>
    <statistic resultType="Ignored" count="2"/>
  </summary>
  …
  <summaries itemType="Guidelines">
    <statistic resultType="Review" count="1"/>
    <statistic resultType="Failed" count="5"/>
    <statistic resultType="Passed with Infos" count="24"/>
    <statistic resultType="Passed" count="11"/>
  </summaries>
</artifacts>

The adapter reads those measures to be found in the Findings and Guidelines header: <summary itemType="Findings"> and <summaries itemType="Guidelines">. Please note that an MXAM report can contain various artifacts and for each artifact MQC reads out the Findings and Guidelines Summary, that are saved as FindingCount and GuidelineCount, respectively:

  • Review

  • Failed

  • Info (for FindingCount) and Passed with Infos (for GuidelineCount)

  • Passed

  • Ignored

  • Aborted

  • Canceled

  • Repaired

  • Unrepaired

  • Warning (for FindingCount) and Warnings (for GuidelineCount)

To get more insight of how these Base Measures are processed to a measurement function, please refer to Quality Model for MXAM.

8.1.2. MXAM Excel Report

MQC accepts an Excel file as a valid MXAM report file, if it at least contains the Project Overview sheet. All guideline results and finding results are read then from the Findings sheet taking into account that multiple Findings sheets may be present (e.g. in addtion Findings 2, Findings 3 etc).

MQC reads

  • from the Project Overview sheet:

    • the ReportDateTime as stored in the row that contains the string “Generated at:”

  • from the Findings sheets EACH row as an MXAM finding, where:

    • the Check ID column is used to extract the guideline name

    • the Objectives column is used to extract the MeasurementName

    • the Artifact column is read as ArtifactName

    • the Result column is read as VariableName.

To extract the guideline name from the entry of the Check ID column, MQC splits the given path into its parts, where the last part is the check and the part next to the last indicates the guideline. If for example the column contains the string

mes_first_set_modeling_guidelines_fs/Layout and Design/Modeling of Data Flow/misra_slsf_030_abc/mcheck_misra_slsf_030_ab

  • mes_first_set_modeling_guidelines_fs is the name of the document

  • Layout and Design is a chapter inside the document

  • Modeling of Data Flow is a subsection of the above chapter

  • misra_slsf_030_abc is the guideline and

  • mcheck_misra_slsf_030_ab is the check.

If the column Objectives is not existing, MQC instead checks for the column name Check Type to extract the measurement name. If multiple entries are contained, MQC uses the first entry as measurement name.

If the MXAM Excel report contains findings for different subsystems for the same artifact, MQC tries to extract a common prefix of all artifact paths as ArtifactName.

After reading all rows, the extracted findings (each row equals one MXAM finding) are aggregated and stored as MXAM measures:

  • the sum of all findings with the same measurement name, the same artifact name and the same variable name is stored as MeasurementName.FindingCount.VariableName = RowCount, e.g. Functionality.FindingCount.Passed = 212.

To extract the GuidelineCount measure:

  • MQC first groups all findings according to the same measurement name, the same artifact name and the same guideline name

  • then for each group MQC takes the variable name of the worst finding as guideline result, e.g. Failed

  • and afterwards counts the occurence of findings with the same measurement name, the same artifact name and the same variable name as MeasurementName.GuidelineCount.VariableName, e.g. Functionality.GuidelineCount.Failed = 15.

8.2. MES M-XRAY® (MXRAY)

MQC supports the Standard XML MXRAY Report file.

The following information is extracted by the MQC/ MXRAY adapter:

  • from the <Timestamp> element

    • ReportDateTime

  • from the <SubsystemQualityOverview> header all included elements, usually these are:

    • Local Complexity

    • Level

    • %Elementary Inputs Unused (globally)

    • Cyclomatic Complexity

    • Inports

    • Outports

    For each of these Measures the variables Good, Acceptable and Bad are imported. Furthermore for Local Complexity the variables LowerBoundOfAcceptable and LowerBoundOfBad are read .

  • from the GlobalValueSummary element

    • Global Complexity (Ref0)

    • Global Complexity (Ref1)

    • Global Complexity (RefN)

  • from the CloneGroups element

    • NumberOfDetectedCloneGroups

    • NumberOfSubsystemsAnalyzed

    • NumberOfUniqueSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups

    • NumberOfSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups

Note

In MQC CloneGroups.NumberOfUniqueSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups is shown as CloneGroups.Bad:

Bad = NumberOfUniqueSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups

Additionally CloneGroups.NumberOfSubsystemsAnalyzed is used together with CloneGroups.NumberOfUniqueSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups to calculate a value for CloneGroups.Good:

Good = NumberOfSubsystemsAnalyzed - NumberOfUniqueSubsystemsInAllCloneGroups

To get more insight of how these Base Measures are processed to a measurement function, please refer to Quality Model for M-XRAY.

8.3. MES Test Manager® (MTest)

The MQC-MTest adapter supports the MQC-XML format for MTest Report files.

The MTest XML report consists of one <DataEntryList> header, which contains several <DataEntry> elements, each of them containing all the information for one Base Measure and Artifact.

The following information is extracted by the MQC/MTest adapter:

  • from the <RevisionDate> element

    • ReportDateTime

  • from the <ArtifactNameOrAlias> element

    • ArtifactName

  • from the <DataSourceNameOrAlias> element the BaseMeasureName with its two variables (read out of the <DataSourceValue> element):

    • Absolute stored in MQC as Reached

    • Reference stored in MQC as Total

According to this pattern, from the <DataEntryList> element, the following Base Measures are imported with its respective variables (Reached and Total):

  • Assessment Work Progress

  • Model Condition Coverage

  • Model Decision Coverage

  • Requirements Compliance

  • Requirements with Reviewed Testability

  • Reviewed Assessments

  • Reviewed Test Sequences

  • Test Sequence Work Progress

  • Test Sequences Compliance

  • Testable Requirements with Assessments

  • Testable Requirements with Test Sequences

  • Testable Requirements

For the following Base Measures there only exists one value that is stored in the variable Reached:

  • Total Assessments

  • Total Requirements

  • Total Test Sequences

To get more insight of how these Base Measures are processed to a measurement function, please refer to Quality Model for MTest.

8.4. PikeTec TPT

MQC supports two types of TPT report formats:

8.4.1. Standard XML report format

The following TPT XML report example shows, where the TPT XML adapter extracts the expected measures from:

<Header ExecutionConfig="Lights Control MATLAB" ExecutionDate="14:47:58 10.05.2016" TptFileName="D:\requirements.tpt" TptVersion="8u2">
  <Property Name="Model Under Test" Value="D:\matlab-platform\lights_control_simulink.mdl"/>
  <Property Name="System Under Test" Value="lights_control_simulink/lights_control"/>
  <Platform History="100" Name="MATLAB-Platform" Stepsize="10000" Timeout="60000000">
    <Property Name="MATLAB Version" Value="MATLAB 8.4"/>
  </Platform>
</Header>
…
<Summary AssessmentDuration="2.518" ExecutionDuration="2.078">
  <ExecutionSummary Errors="0" Failed="6" Inconclusive="0" Succeeded="5" Tests="11"/>
</Summary>

MQC reads out

  • from the <Header.. > element

    • ExecutionDateTime (stored in MQC as ReportDateTime)

    • SystemUnderTest Value (stored in MQC as ArtifactName), in this case “lights_control_simulink/lights_control”. Please, note that TPT stores in the XML only the name (instead of the complete path) of the subsystem

  • from the <ExecutionSummary> element the categories

    • Tests (stored in MQC as TestCount.Total)

    • Succeeded (stored in MQC as TestCount.Succeeded)

    • Failed (stored in MQC as TestCount.Failed)

    • Errors (stored in MQC as TestCount.Errors)

    • Inconclusive (stored in MQC as TestCount.Inconclusive)

In addition, structural coverage information and status and number of requirements are read:

<Header>
  <Property Name="System under Test" Value=""/>
  <Property Name="Revision" Value=""/>
  <Platform History="100" Name="C Platform" Stepsize="10000" Timeout="60000000">
    <Property Name="Platform Mapping" Value="&lt;none&gt;"/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="1.0" CoverageType="Function" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="0.29" CoverageType="Statement" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="0.29" CoverageType="Decision" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="0.16" CoverageType="Condition" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="0.21" CoverageType="MC/DC" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
    <CoverageData Coverage="0.18" CoverageType="Multicondition" ToolName="CTC++" ToolVersion=""/>
  </Platform>
</Header>

  • from the <Header><Platform> branch all <CoverageData> elements using the attribute CoverageType to distinguish

    • Function Coverage.Ratio

    • Statement Coverage.Ratio

    • Decision Coverage.Ratio

    • Condition Coverage.Ratio

    • MC/DC Coverage.Ratio

    • Multicondition Coverage.Ratio

<Requirements>
  <Requirement Id="SPEC-12" Text="Functional requirements"/>
  <Requirement Id="SPEC-13" State="SUCCESS" Text="If light_switch is ON, then headlight shall immediately be ON."/>
</Requirements>
<Testcases Number="11">
  <Testcase Description="..." Requirements="SPEC-6 SPEC-13"/>
</Testcases>
<Assesslets Number="22">
  <Group Name="Assesslets">
    <Assesslet Id="1" Name="..." Requirements="SPEC-13"/>
  </Group>
</Assesslets>

  • from the <Requirements> element

    • Requirements Count.Total (total number of <Requirement> elements)

    • Requirements Count.Testable (number of requirements, which are linked to testcases and/or to assesslets)

    • Requirements Status.Passed (attribute State="SUCCESS")

    • Requirements Status.Failed (attribute State="FAILED")

    • Requirements Status.ExecutionError (attribute State="EXECUTION_ERROR")

    • Requirements Status.DontKnow (attribute State="DONT_KNOW")

    • Requirements Status.NotCovered (number of requirements which are only linked to testcases but not to asseslets and vice versa)

    • Testable Requirements with Test Cases.Reached (number of requirements with attribute State and any reference in element <Testcases>)

    • Testable Requirements with Assesslets.Reached (number of requirements with any reference in element <Assesslets>)

    • Testable Requirements with Test Cases and Assesslets.Reached (number of requirements which are linked to both testcases and asseslets)

MQC offers an additional structuring element called Measurement (described in Section 6.1). Herewith, test results (same base measure and variable name) may be read for different contexts, e.g. MiL or SiL.

The measurement name is expected as part of the file name or read from the Name attribute of the <Platform> element. In both cases, MQC expects the following syntax: _SIL_ or _MIL_. If not existing, the configured default measurement name is taken (see Section 13.1).

8.4.2. Standard HTML report format

The TPT HTML adapter extracts the same measures as the TPT XML adapter. Data is mainly read from file overview.html.

<body>
  <div class="header">TPT Report: Overview</div>
  <div class="table-caption">Test Summary</div>
  <table>
    <tr><td><span>TPT File</span></td><td><span>Model01.tptz</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>TPT Version</span></td><td><span>15u3</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>Date</span></td><td><span>07-Dec-2020</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>System under Test</span></td><td><span>Model01</span></td></tr>
    ...
    <tr><td><span>Passed</span></td><td><span>583</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>Failed</span></td><td><span>0</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>Inconclusive</span></td><td><span>0</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>Execution Error</span></td><td><span>0</span></td></tr>
    <tr><td><span>Total</span></td><td><span>583</span></td></tr>
  </table>

From the first table of the document, MQC reads test case information and meta data:

  • Total (stored in MQC as TestCount.Total)

  • Passed (stored in MQC as TestCount.Succeeded)

  • Failed (stored in MQC as TestCount.Failed)

  • Execution Error (stored in MQC as TestCount.Errors)

  • Inconclusive (stored in MQC as TestCount.Inconclusive)

  • Date (stored in MQC as ReportDateTime)

  • System under Test (stored in MQC as ArtifactName)

Note

It may also be the case that System under Test is shorten to SUT. If neither the first nor the second can be found, the name of the artifact is taken from TPT File (file name without extension).

<table>
  <caption>Platform Information</caption>
  <tr><td><span>Platform Mapping</span></td><td><span>FromInterfaceImport</span></td></tr>
  <tr><td><span>MATLAB Version</span></td><td><span>MATLAB 9.3</span></td></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Variable 'TestRun'</span></td><td><span>SIL</span></td></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Variable 'iS_MIL'</span></td><td><span>0</span></td></tr>
</table>

The measurement name is expected as part of the file name. If it can’t be extracted from there, MQC checks if the report contains a table with the caption Platform Information and reads the platform name from the row with the inner text Variable 'TestRun'. If not existing, the configured default measurement name is taken (see Section 13.1).

<table class="coverage-new">
  <caption>Coverage Information</caption>
  <tr><td><span>Type</span></td><td><span>Coverage [TER%]</span></td><td><span>Report</span></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Condition</span></td><td><span>16.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Decision</span></td><td><span>29.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Function</span></td><td><span>100.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
  <tr><td><span>MC/DC</span></td><td><span>21.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Multicondition</span></td><td><span>18.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
  <tr><td><span>Statement</span></td><td><span>29.0%</span></td><td/></tr>
</table>

Coverage data is fetched from the table with the caption Coverage Information. MQC reads the first column as measure name and the second column as measure value:

  • Condition Coverage.Ratio

  • Decision Coverage.Ratio

  • Function Coverage.Ratio

  • MC/DC Coverage.Ratio

  • Multicondition Coverage.Ratio

  • Statement Coverage.Ratio

The requirement information is mainly read from the table where the caption contains Requirement Coverage Summary.

  • Requirements Status.Passed (number of requirements from column Passed)

  • Requirements Status.Failed (number of requirements from column Failed)

  • Requirements Status.ExecutionError (number of requirements from column Execution Error)

  • Requirements Status.DontKnow (number of requirements from column Inconclusive)

  • Requirements Status.NotCovered (number of requirements from column Not Covered)

  • Requirements Count.Testable (sum of all the previous values)

To distinguish between requirements linked to test cases and those linked to assesslets, MQC additionally reads requirement.html. Here, MQC fetches the data from the two tables

  • Requirements Results

    This table contains all requirements except those which are only linked to assesslets but not to test cases. It even contains requirements not linked at all, which are assumed to be not testable.

  • Requirements Assesslet Results

    This table contains all requirements linked to both test cases as well as assesslets.

Note

Requirements with status Not Covered are either requirements not linked to testcases or requirements not linked to asesslets. The TPT HTML adapter uses this number to calculate measures which can’t be explicitly fetched from a TPT HTML report.

  • Testable Requirements with Test Cases.Reached (number of requirements from table Requirements Results, where the column Test Case Results is not empty)

  • Testable Requirements with Assesslets.Reached (number of requirements from table Requirements Assesslet Results plus number of requirements with status Not Covered but linked to assesslets)

  • Testable Requirements with Test Cases and Assesslets.Reached (number of requirements from table Requirements Assesslet Results

  • Requirements Count.Total (number of requirements from table Requirements Results plus number of requirements with status Not Covered but linked to assesslets)

8.5. Razorcat Tessy

From the extract of the Tessy Example XML report,

<report success="notok" tessy_version="4.0.15" xml_version="3">
<statistic notexecuted="0" notok="11" ok="54" total="65">
  <category count="54" name="ok"/>
  <category count="11" name="notok"/>
  <category count="0" name="notexecuted"/>
</statistic>
<info date="2018-08-23" time="16:20:30+0200"/>
…
<tessyobject id="1024" level="0" name="Testsuite" success="notok" type="project">

MQC reads

  • from the main (report) header:

    • tessy_version (stored in MQC as TessyReportVersion)

  • from the <statistics..> header the categories:

    • ok

    • notok

    • notexecuted.

  • from the <info..> header:

    • date and time (stored in MQC as ReportDateTime)

  • from the <tessyobject..> header:

    • name (stored in MQC as ArtifactName)

    • type (stored in MQC as TessyObjectType)

The Tessy data is imported maintaining the same notation of the Tessy classification of ok, notok and notexecuted, yet assigning them to the BaseMeasure TestCount.

8.6. MathWorks Polyspace

MQC supports two types of Polyspace report formats:

8.6.1. Polyspace Xml-adapter

If a Polyspace Xml report is created, MQC reads out from the xml-file:

  • ReportDateTime: from element PubDateTime

  • ArtifactPath: from element Subtitle

  • ArtifactName: same as ArtifactPath

The xml-file refers to several xfrag-files in the Polyspace-doc directory to be found on the same level as the xml-file.

From the image-000-chapter.xfrag-file, MQC extracts

  • BaseMeasureName: from the title elements of the tables

  • VariableName: first entry element of each table body row

  • MeasureValue: second entry element of each table body row

<table>
  <title>Coding Rules Summary - MISRA-C Checker</title>
  <tgroup>
    <tbody>
      <row><entry>Violations</entry><entry>52</entry></row>
      <row><entry>Pass/Fail</entry><entry>-</entry></row>
    </tbody>
  </tgroup>
</table>
<table>
  <title>Run-Time Checks Summary</title>
  <tgroup>
    <tbody>
      <row><entry>Number of Red Checks</entry><entry><emphasis role="red">2</emphasis></entry></row>
      <row><entry>Number of Gray Checks</entry><entry><emphasis role="gray">10</emphasis></entry></row>
      <row><entry>Number of Orange Checks</entry><entry><emphasis role="orange">13</emphasis></entry></row>
      <row><entry>Number of Green Checks</entry><entry><emphasis role="green">205</emphasis></entry></row>
      <row><entry>Proven</entry><entry>100.0%</entry></row>
      <row><entry>Pass/Fail</entry><entry>-</entry></row>
    </tbody>
  </tgroup>
</table>
<table>
  <title>Global Variable Summary</title>
  <tgroup>
    <tbody>
      <row><entry>Used non-shared variable</entry><entry>51</entry></row>
    </tbody>
  </tgroup>
</table>

The extracted data is then modified and transformed as follows:

  • If title = Run-Time Checks Summary

    • Number of Red Checks stored as Run-Time Checks.Major

    • Number of Gray Checks stored as Run-Time Checks.Minor

    • Number of Orange Checks stored as Run-Time Checks.Moderate

    • Number of Green Checks stored as Run-Time Checks.Good

    • Percentage of Proven stored as Run-Time Checks.Proven

    • Pass/Fail stored as Run-Time Checks.Pass_Fail

  • If title = Coding Rules Summary - MISRA-C Checker

    • Violations stored as MISRA-C Checker.Violations

  • If title = Global Variable Summary

    • Used non-shared variable stored as Global Variable.Used non-shared variable

    • Unused variable stored as Global Variable.Unused variable

8.6.2. Polyspace Text-adapter

If a Polyspace tab-separated Text report is created, MQC reads from this txt-file:

  • ReportDateTime: time stamp of the last modification of the txt-file

  • ArtifactPath: extracted from File column (see below)

  • ArtifactName: same as ArtifactPath

  • BaseMeasureName: extracted from Family column

  • VariableName: extracted from Color, Information,``Check`` and Comment column based on the BaseMeasureName

  • MeasureValue: aggregated count per Color

To get the ArtifactPath, MQC extracts the file paths of all files used to create the report from the File column. MQC then obtains the common prefix from these file paths and takes the last directory from that prefix. This is stored as ArtifactPath.

For example if paths read from the “File” column are as follows:

C:\dev\Models\GlobalPosition\TLProj\TL_GlobalPosition\GlobalPosition.h
C:\dev\Models\GlobalPosition\TLSim\Rte_GlobalPosition.h
C:\dev\Models\GlobalPosition\TLSim\TL_GlobalPosition_fri.h

In this example the common prefix is C:\dev\Models\GlobalPosition and MQC extracts the last common directory GlobalPosition as the artifact path.

After reading, the extracted data is then modified and transformed as follows:

  • If Family equals Run-time Check:

    • Color = Red is stored as Run-Time Checks.Major

    • Color = Red and Comment is not empty is stored as Run-Time Checks.Major with Comments

    • Color = Gray is stored as Run-Time Checks.Minor

    • Color = Gray and Comment is not empty is stored as Run-Time Checks.Minor

    • Color = Orange is stored as Run-Time Checks.Moderate

    • Color = Orange and Comment is not empty is stored as Run-Time Checks.Moderate

    • Color = Green is stored as Run-Time Checks.Good

  • If Family equals Global Variable:

    • Check = Unused variable is stored as Global Variable.Unused variable

    • Color = Used non-shared variable is stored as Global Variable.Used non-shared variable

  • Family starts with MISRA C:

    • Information = Category:Mandatory is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Mandatory

    • Information = Category:Mandatory and Comment is not empty is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Mandatory with Comments

    • Information = Category:Required is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Required

    • Information = Category:Required and Comment is not empty is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Required with Comments

    • Information = Category:Advisory is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Advisory

    • Information = Category:Advisory and Comment is not empty is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Advisory with Comments

    • Sum of Category:Mandatory, Category:Required and Category:Advisory is stored as MISRA-C Checker.Violations

Note

All the base measures with the post fix with Comments are always a subset of the root measure. For example, Run-Time Checks.Major is the count of all run-time checks which are ‘’red’‘, with or without comments. Thus, Run-Time Checks.Major with Comments is always less or equal to the value of Run-time Check.Major.

8.7. BTC EmbeddedTester

MQC supports two types of Embedded Tester (ET) report formats:

8.7.1. Standard XML report format

If a standard XML report is created, MQC will read from the XML file:

<BTCXmlReport>
  <ProfileInfo lastArchitectureUpdate="Wed Nov 07 16:32:55 CET 2018" lastB2BTestExecution="Sat Aug 11 08:44:00 CEST 2018" lastRBTSILTestExecution="Wed Nov 07 16:39:43 CET 2018" lasteModifier="mes" modelName="TestObject.slx" modelVersion="0.0.1+STD" profileName="UT_TestObject.epp"/>

    </B2BCoverageOverview>
  </B2B>
</BTCXmlReport>

MQC extracts the following information, stores and transforms it to the MQC data structure, so that the imported data can be added to the ValueFact table as rows:

  • from the <ProfileInfo> header:

    • lastRBTSILTestExecution stored in MQC as ReportDateTime

    • modelName stored in MQC as ArtifactName

  • from the <RBT><Tests> element the attributes:

    • sumSILErrorExecutions stored as RBT Test Count.Error

    • sumSILFailedExecutions stored as RBT Test Count.Failed

    • sumSILPassedExecutions stored as RBT Test Count.Passed

    • sumTestCases stored as RBT Test Count.Total

  • from the <RBT><Requirements> element the attributes:

    • sumSILFailedRequirements stored as RBT Requirements Status.Failed

    • sumSILPassedRequirements stored as RBT Requirements Status.Passed

    • sumRequirements stored as RBT Requirements Count.Total

    • sum of sumSILFailedRequirements, sumSILPassedRequirements and sumSILMissingOrOutdatedStatusRequirements stored as RBT Requirements Count.Testable

    • sum of sumSILFailedRequirements, sumSILPassedRequirements and sumSILMissingOrOutdatedStatusRequirements stored as RBT Testable Requirements with Test Cases.Reached

  • from the <RBT><RBTCoverageOverview> element:

    </file_summary>
  </file>
</ctc_xml_report>

MQC extracts the following information, stores and transforms it to the MQC data structure:

  • from the <header_info> header:

    • <report_generated> (stored in MQC as ReportDateTime)

  • from each <file> header:

    • name (stored in MQC as ArtifactName)

    • from the <file_summary> header:

      • <lines> (stored in MQC as Source lines.count)

      • <measurement_points> (stored in MQC as Measurement points.count)

      • when both <xxx_hits> and <xxx_all> exist

        • <xxx_hits> (stored in MQC as xxx.Reached)

        • <xxx_all> (stored in MQC as xxx.Total)

8.8.2. Standard HTML report format

    </tbody>
  </table><br>
 </body>
</html>

MQC extracts the following information, stores and transforms it to the MQC data structure:

  • from the first <table> header:

    • read the last <td> of the <tr> with the first <td> equal to ‘Listing produced at’ (stored in MQC as ReportDateTime)

  • from the second <table> header:

    • from <thead> start from third <th> and every three <th> read as MeasureName.

    • from each <tr>:

      • read last <td> as <ArtifactName>

      • from <td> correspondent to <th> read values for that measure in such a way that the first number is fetch as Reached and second as Total variable. (e.g for second row in sample report above, (41/42) is read as decision.Reached = 41 and decision.Total = 42)

Note

In reading rows from second table we will ignore <tr> with just one <td> or has class=”dirb” or class=”ruler” or when last <td> is equal to “DIRECTORY OVERALL” or “OVERALL”.

8.9. Danlawinc MxSuite

MQC reads data from the XML file named Report.RegResults.xml:

<MxVDevReportFile>

    • from <thead> read <th> as MeasureName (just ignore first and last one).

    • from each <tr>:

      • read first <td> as ArtifactName

      • from <td> correspondent to <th> read values for that measure.

  • from <table> inside <div class="summary">:

    • read second <td> of <tr> that first is equal to ‘Violated Rules’ (stored in MQC as Project Rules.Violated)

    • read second <td> of <tr> that first is equal to ‘Compliant Rules’ (stored in MQC as Project Rules.Compliant)

8.14. Manual data import for unsupported data sources (Excel Template)

MQC provides the possibility to import data from any other data source using the manual import option.

Note

All measures imported into MQC have to be configured in the Quality Model (see Base Measures and Default Values). Imported but not configured measures will be ignored in all visualizations as well as for the quality calculation.

The manual import has to be done using Excel. From the Data Sources dialog choose the Export Template (Manual Import) button to create an Excel import file that can be used to load data into MQC.

../_images/MQC_DataSources_ExportTemplateManualImport.png

Figure 8.1 Export the excel template for using manual data import functionality

Select one of the following options to customize the data import template according to your needs:

  • All: The Excel file already contains a column for each measure configured in the quality model as well as one row for each artifact imported respectively configured in the project structure.

  • Filtered: The Excel file only contains those measures and artifacts selected via the filter panel on the right-hand side of the pages.

  • Marked: The Excel file only contains those measures and artifacts that were marked by the user, e.g. if the user have selected an artifact KPI and a specific data source KPI at the Data Status page, the file only contains a row for the marked artifact as well as only columns for measures belonging to the marked data source.

../_images/MQC_DataSources_ManualImport.png

Figure 8.2 Sample file for manual import of two Base Measures for two Artifacts for the same revision

The column Artifact consists of entries representing the objects for which data shall be collected and for which quality shall be computed (e.g. Simulink models, requirements documents, software components).

The entries of the column ReportDateTime are considered by MQC as the days when raising the data, which shall be collected. Those configured report dates are used to assign the imported data to MQC revisions.

Finally, all other columns are representing measures for which data shall be imported into MQC. As shown in Figure 8.2, measures (i.e. the column names) have to follow the syntax DataSource.Measurement.BaseMeasure.Variable.

  • DataSource: Specify where your data is coming from (e.g. the name of the tool which produced the data).

  • Measurement: Provide more structuring regarding the data (e.g. the reason why data is collected, the test environment etc.). This is optional and may be left empty. In this case the measure name syntax is DataSource.BaseMeasure.Variable. Nevertheless, it is recommended to fill out Measurement to achieve a high compliance to ISO 250xx.

  • BaseMeasure: Specifies a group of measures.

  • Variable: The name of the specific measure belonging to the base measure group.

The value for a specific measure for an artifact at a certain report date then has to be assigned to the corresponding cell within the Excel template.

In case you might want to assign default values for your imported base measures, you have to define them in compliance with this syntax within the Quality Model Base Measure excel sheet (see Figure 13.1).

Note

The manual data import supports .xls files, in addition to .xlsx files, and multiple sheets starting from MQC 4.3.
