ENVY/QA User Guide : Code Metrics : Customizing the Metrics : Common Properties
Common Properties
All metrics have the properties lower threshold and upper threshold. These properties define the acceptable range of values for the metric. You should examine carefully results that fall outside the acceptable range. You can modify the default thresholds to match your project’s guidelines.
The following table summarizes the default thresholds for each metric.
