be in the future.

Test Metrics is something like a 'Measurement'.

Answer / murali krishna

Metrics simply means measuring.

You should be able to measure the quality in your project.
To do so, you need to collect different types of data
throught the life cycle of your project. Ex: No. of test
cases, defects, severity, complexity, team members,
schedule, executing tracking etc.

At the end of the testing activity, you will generate
certain metrics using the data collected during the testing
activity.

Below are some of the popular metrics:
1. Schedule Variance
2. Effort Variance
3. Test Case Efficiency rate
4. Requirement Stability Index
5. Defect Leakage.
6. Test productivity
7. Defect rejection ratio

Answer / 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.

Answer / sudhakar8

While testing a product, test manager has to take a lot of
decisions like when to stop testing or when is the
application ready for production, how to track testing
progress, how to measure the quality of a product at a
certain point in the testing cycle? Testing metrics can
help to take better and accurate decisions

Lets start by defining the term 'Metric'
A metric is a mathematical number that shows a relationship
between two variables. Software metrics are measures used
to quantify status or results.
