Maximum level of packages

Maximum level per packages

Description

Maximum level per packages.

The rule parameter is an integer with the maximum authorized depth for nested packages. Default value is 2.

Rationale

This enforces compliance with a specific modeling standard by placing an upper bound on the depth of nested packages.

Verification

It retrieves the Level of packages metric associated to each package. It fails if a chain of nested packages exceeds the maximum authorized depth.

Resolution

Modify the offending packages to reduce maximum depth, as detailed in the rule failure message.

Customization

This rule depends on the Level of packages metric, that must be included in the package. If you customize the ID of this metric, you must provide it when instantiating the rule, using the parameter metric_id.

Cf. Customization for an example.
