NumericRange (DevOps Test UI)

java.lang.Object
- com.rational.test.ft.value.Pattern
- - com.rational.test.ft.value.NumericRange

```
public class NumericRange
extends Pattern
```
Serves as a lower and upper boundary for a target value. This class includes a metadata type of property that controls whether the upper or lower boundaries are both included in comparisons against the range. Because the upper and lower boundaries are generic Number types, both integer and floating point ranges can be supported by this one class.

Since:

RFT1.0
