Defect Metrics
Analysis on the defect report is done for management and client
information. These are categorized as
Defect Age: Defect age is the time duration between the point of introduction
of defect to the point of closure of the defect. This would give a fair idea on
the defect set to be included for smoke test during Regression
Defect Analysis: The analysis of the defects can be done based on the severity,
occurrence and category of the defects. As an example Defect Density is a
metric which gives the ratio of defects in specific modules to the total
defects in the application. Further analysis and derivation of metrics can be
done based on the various components of the defect management.
Test Management Metrics
Analysis on the test management is done for management and client
information. These are categorized as
Schedule: Schedule Variance is a metric determined
by the ratio of the planned duration to the actual duration of the project.
Effort: Effort variance is a metric determined by the ratio of the
planned effort to the actual effort exercised for the project.
