Interface MeasurementTool

All Known Implementing Classes:

KiekerMeasurementTool

public interface MeasurementTool

An analyser that executes the test code an measures certain metrics. Measurement tools don't have access to the blackboard. Instead of this, they get a MeasurementOrder containing the information about what to measure and should return MeasurementEvents in the correct order.

A measurement tool does not need to analyse all things specified in the MeasurementOrder.

Measurement tools need a public zero argument constructor for the instantiation, because they are loaded through eclipse extension points.
