# Metric tests and examples

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tests and examples** are sections within the "Additional Information" tab applicable to our **metrics** records within our **fairassist** registry only.
{% endhint %}

FAIRsharing registers and/or stores the conceptual components of the Assessment IF (Principles, Metrics and Benchmarks). Other components are stored elsewhere and referenced, as appropriate, within these FAIRsharing records. Please see our section describing the [fairassist registry](/fairsharing/record-sections-and-fields/general-information/registry-type.md#fairassist) for more information.

## Associated Tests

Metrics may be implemented with any number of Tests. URLs may be provided in the **Associated Tests** field to link to other resources, such as the [FDP Index](https://tools.ostrails.eu/fdp-index/), that store or register these tests.  Add any number of URLs linking to the tests that implement the Metric you are editing. These URLs may be to an individual test or a search URL that will retrieve all appropriate tests.

An optional free-text note field is available for each URL to provide further detail if necessary.

## Positive Examples

Metrics should have one or more URLs that take users to positive examples. Such examples will return a pass if a test implementing this Metric is run.

An optional free-text note field is available for each URL to provide further detail if necessary.

## Negative Examples

Metrics should have one or more URLs that take users to negative examples. Such examples will return a fail if a test implementing this Metric is run.

An optional free-text note field is available for each URL to provide further detail if necessary.
