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.
