Analysis metrics file fields

In the analysis metrics file, each line represents a Torrent Suite™ Software analysis run. Within each line, fields are separated by a comma. Each comma-separated field is listed in a separate column. You can open the files with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft™ Excel™ or Apache® OpenOffice ™ Calc.

The file has many fields per entry. Rows 4 through 11 (marked by *) contain test fragments metrics. The other rows contain library read metrics.
