+Collecting Metrics
+==================
+
+PTB allows you to collect various metrics on the quality of your project
+regarding Coverage, Security, and Static Code Analysis.
+
+For each metric, there is a dedicated nox task, generating one or multiple
+files and based on a selected external Python tool.
+
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------+
+| Nox Task                    | Generated Files             | Based on     |
++=============================+=============================+==============+
+| ``lint:code``               | ``lint.txt``, ``lint.json`` | ``pylint``   |
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------+
+| ``lint:security``           | ``.security.json``          | ``bandit``   |
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------+
+| ``test:unit -- --coverage`` | ``.coverage``               | ``coverage`` |
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------+
+
+The metrics are computed for each point in your build matrix, e.g. for each
+Python version defined in file ``noxconfig.py``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @dataclass(frozen=True)
+    class Config:
+        python_versions = ["3.9", "3.10", "3.11", "3.12", "3.13"]
+
+The GitHub workflows of your project can:
+
+* Use a build matrix, e.g. using different Python versions as shown above
+* Define multiple test sessions, e.g. for distinguishing fast vs. slow or expensive tests.
+
+PTB combines the coverage data of all test sessions but using only the Python
+version named first in attribute ``python_versions`` of class ``Config``.
