lsst.verify

lsst.verify is a framework for packages that measure software and data quality metrics. A metric can be any measurable scalar quantity; some examples are in the LSST Science Requirements Document (LPM-17), though packages can also define ad hoc metrics. Measurements made through lsst.verify can be uploaded to LSST’s SQUASH monitoring dashboard to help you see how code development affects performance.

BlobSet([blobs]) A collection of Blobs.
Datum([quantity, unit, label, description]) A value annotated with units, a plot label and description.
Job([measurements, metrics, specs, meta]) Container for Measurements, Blob s, and Metadata associated with a pipeline run.
Measurement(metric[, quantity, blobs, …]) A measurement of a single Metric.
MeasurementNotes(metric_name) Container for annotations (notes) associated with a single lsst.verify.Measurement.
MeasurementSet([measurements]) A collection of Measurements of Metrics.
Metadata(measurement_set[, data]) Container for verification framework job metadata.
MetadataQuery([terms]) Query of lsst.verify.Job.meta metadata.
Metric(name, description, unit[, tags, …]) Container for the definition of a metric.
MetricComputationError This class represents unresolvable errors in computing a metric.
MetricSet([metrics]) A collection of Metrics.
Name([package, metric, spec]) Semantic name of a package, Metric or Specification in the lsst.verify framework.
Specification(name, **kwargs) Specification base class.
SpecificationResolutionError Error resolving a specification document’s stated inheritance.
SpecificationSet([specifications, partials]) A collection of Specifications.
ThresholdSpecification(name, threshold, …) A threshold-type specification, associated with a Metric, that defines a binary comparison against a measurement.
VerifyError Base error for verify.
VerifySpecificationError Error accessing or using requirement specifications.
