feeback mechanism to improve the testing process.

They are collected at each phase of the etsting lifecycle.

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

6. Time to find a defect

8. Test case effectiveness
9. Defect / KLOC
