Usually Test Strategy consists of Testing Measurements &
Metrics
This explains with what efficiency and speed testing can be
done.
This can be estimated by three metrics
1.Testing Team Measurements/Metrics (TTM): It explains how
much testing is finished & yet to finish
2.Quality Assurance Measurements/Metrics (QAM): It explains
how much Quality is expected.
3.Process/Project Capability Measurements/Metrics(PCM):
This PCM is analyzed ofr Maintenance Projects so, not used
