Answer Posted / saurabh_g

Test metrics is a mechanism to know the effectiveness of
the testing that can be measured quantitatively. It is a
feeback mechanism to improve the testing process.

They are collected at each phase of the etsting lifecycle.

Adv : 1. Better knowledge of the project.
2. Identify risk areas that requires more testing.
3. Measure of effectiveness and efficiency of testing.

5 Testing metrics :

1. Defect by action taked :
This metrics is an indicator of the effectiveness of the
testing process and test execution . Good percentage of
defects marked as "Rejected" implies that the understanding
of the test engineer on the functionality is low.

2. Defect by injection phase :
Indicator of the most problematic phase in the s/w dev.
Like Design, coding, Documentation, Test planning etc..

3. Defects by Detection phase.
Indicator of the most efficient phase of s/w dev. in terms
of finding and removing bugs.

Hope u hv an idea now.... :)

4. Defects by priority
5. Defects by severity
6. Time to find a defect
7. Time to resolve a defect
8. Test case effectiveness
9. Defect / KLOC
