B.7 Activity Metrics

Metric: ActionsCategory: Size
The number of actions of the activity.

Includes actions in all activity groups (partitions, interruptible regions, expansion regions, structured activities including conditional, loop, and sequence nodes), and their subgroups, sub-subgroups, etc.


Metric: ObjectNodesCategory: Size
The number of object nodes of the activity.

Counts data store, central buffer, and activity parameter nodes in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions).


Metric: PinsCategory: Size
The number of pins on nodes of the activity.

Counts all input, output, and value pins on all nodes and groups of the activity.


Metric: ControlNodesCategory: Size
The number of control nodes of the activity.

Control nodes are initial, activity final, flow final, join, fork, decision, and merge nodes. The metric also counts control nodes in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions).


Metric: PartitionsCategory: Size
The number of activity partitions in the activity.


Metric: GroupsCategory: Size
The number of activity groups or regions of the activity.

Counts interruptible and expansion regions, structured activities, conditional, loop, and sequence nodes, at all levels of nesting.


Metric: ControlFlowsCategory: Complexity
The number of control flows of the activity.

Includes contained edges in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions)


Metric: ObjectFlowsCategory: Complexity
The number of object flows of the activity.

Includes contained edges in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions)


Metric: GuardsCategory: Complexity
The number of guards defined on object and control flows of the activity.

Includes contained edges in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions).


Metric: ExcHandlersCategory: Complexity
The number of exception handlers of the activity.

Includes exception handlers for all nodes in all activity groups and their subgroups etc. (see Actions).
