Other Important Metrics

The following are some of the other important software metrics:

• Defect metrics: Defect metrics help engineers understand the many aspects of software quality, such as functionality, performance, installation stability, usability, compatibility, and so on.
• Schedule Adherence: Schedule Adherence’s major purpose is to determine the time difference between a schedule’s expected and actual execution times.
• Defect Severity: The severity of the problem allows the developer to see how the defect will affect the software’s quality.
• Test case efficiency: Test case efficiency is a measure of how effective test cases are at detecting problems.
• Defects finding rate: It is used to determine the pattern of flaws over a period of time.
• Defect Fixing Time: The amount of time it takes to remedy a problem is known as defect fixing time.
• Test Coverage: It specifies the number of test cases assigned to the program. This metric ensures that the testing is completed completely. It also aids in the verification of code flow and the testing of functionality.
• Defect cause: It’s utilized to figure out what’s causing the problem.

Software testing metrics are quantifiable indicators of the software testing process progress, quality, productivity, and overall health. The purpose of software testing metrics is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the software testing process while also assisting in making better decisions for future testing by providing accurate data about the testing process. A metric expresses the degree to which a system, system component, or process possesses a certain attribute in numerical terms. A weekly mileage of an automobile compared to its ideal mileage specified by the manufacturer is an excellent illustration of metrics. Here, we discuss the following points:
