what are test metrics?

Answer Posted / lakshmanaraj bg

Test metrics accomplish in analyzing the current level of maturity in testing and give a projection on how to go about testing activities by allowing us to set goals and predict future trends.

Metrics are measurements. It is as simple as that. We use them all the time in our everyday lives.

There are two basis types of metrics.

The first type is the elemental or basic measurement such as weight, length, time, volume, and in this example, cost.

The second type is derived, normally from the elemental measurements. At the meat counter, the derived metric is dollars/weight (VIZ. $7.49/kg). This is called a normalized metric.
