Multi-Quality Rule mode

On this page

Overview

MQR Mode aims to more accurately represent the impact an issue has on all software qualities. It does this by assigning a separate severity to a rule for each software quality it might impact. This approach focuses on ensuring the impact on all software qualities is clear, not just the one most severely impacted. 

How severity works in MQR mode
