Coverage Exclude Filter

Definition​

An Exclude Filter is used to exclude one or more microflows from counting towards the coverage percentage that is calculated for one Coverage Goal whenever a test is executed.

An Exclude Filter is evaluated on the fully-qualified name of a microflow: MyModule.MyMicroflow. Therefore, the filter is constructed in 2 parts; the Module name part and the Microflow name part.

An Exclude Filter is case-insensitive. This is because elements in a Mendix Model are also case-insensitive (there cannot be two modules with the same name even if the casing is different).

An Exclude Filter can be provided with asterisks (*) as a wildcard.

Microflows in the Mendix System module are always excluded from coverage calculation.

Properties​

NameDescription
Module Name FilterThe filter for the module name
Microflow Name FilterThe filter for the microflow name

Business rules​

  • The Module Name Filter may not be empty and should start with a letter, underscore or asterisk and can only contain letters, digits, underscores and asterisks.
  • The Microflow Name Filter may not be empty and should start with a letter, underscore or asterisk and can only contain letters, digits, underscores and asterisks.
  • Exclude Filters that are added to a Coverage Goal on a Test Configuration, will apply to microflows in the Application Revision that was last applied to that Test Configuration.
  • Exclude Filters that are added to a Coverage Goal on an Application, will apply to microflows in the latest Application Revision found in the included Test Configurations.

Actions on an Exclude Filter​

info

On the top of this page, you will see how many microflows will be included and excluded, based on the current Application Revision and Exclude Filters in the Coverage Goal. This information will be automatically updated if the Exclude Filters change or if another Application Revision is applied. Clicking on one of the numbers will show which microflows the number relates to.
