Explore Metric Results, Monitor Progress, and Identify Issues

R2026b

You can view metrics for your Model-Based Design artifacts, assess the current status of a project, and identify and fix noncompliant metric results by using the Simulink^® Check™ dashboards. You can use the dashboards to visualize the metric results or collect the metric results programmatically. You can also save reports for offline review of metric results.

The dashboards and metric results provide an overview of model quality and the project verification status. Use the detailed metric results to identify specific artifacts that are not in compliance with industry standards and guidelines. The dashboard summarizes metric results so you can track progress and identify gaps. As you update, refactor, and fix artifacts, return to the dashboard to monitor your progress towards fixing noncompliant artifacts or gaps in requirements-based testing.

Metric Results in the Dashboards

There are different types of dashboards:

• Model Design Dashboard — Review design structure, diagnostics, and reuse.

• Model Maintainability Dashboard — Assess the size, architecture, and complexity of the models in your project.

• Project Model Testing Dashboard — Summarize the model testing, coverage, and requirements traceability across models in your project.

• Model Testing Dashboard — Assess the model testing artifacts in your project.

• SIL Code Testing and PIL Code Testing Dashboards — Assess the code testing artifacts in your project.

The following table shows examples of common dashboard results, the associated dashboard and metrics, and links to related examples.

Note

If you currently use the Metrics Dashboard to review MATLAB^® Code Analyzer warnings, Simulink diagnostics, and reuse metrics, consider using the new Model Design Dashboard instead. The Metrics Dashboard will be removed in a future release.

Dashboard	Dashboard Results	Dashboard and Metric Examples	Guidelines and Standards
Model Design Dashboard	View an overview of the composition, complexity, and dimensions of a unit. Assess the total number of links and the distribution of link types for a unit.	Use the Model Design Dashboard to visualize the metric results or collect results programmatically with the model design metrics.
