feeback mechanism to improve the testing process.
They are collected at each phase of the etsting lifecycle.

5 Testing metrics :

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
