Key Measurements for Testers

摘要

The testing function often utilizes very simple measures: how many defects are currently open? How many test cases have we written? How many test cases have we run? This paper is a survey of typical measurements in test for both projects and entire organizations. By comparing current projects with historical project data, one can better determine the answers to such key questions as 'how many testing resources do we need? Is the quality good enough? When can we release the product?"
