December 7-8, 2022 9 software testing process. The goal of software
GD Se testing metrics is to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness in the software testing
a process and to help make better decisions for
further testing process by providing reliable
data about the testing process.
A Metric defines in quantitative terms the degree to which a system, system component, or
process possesses a given attribute. The ideal example to understand metrics would be a
weekly mileage of a car compared to its ideal mileage recommended by the manufacturer.

Software testing metrics - Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of a software
testing process.
Software testing metrics or software test measurement is the quantitative indication of
extent, capacity, dimension, amount or size of some attribute of a process or product.
Example for software test measurement: Total number of defects

* Process Metrics: It can be used to improve the process efficiency of the SDLC ( Software
Development Life Cycle)
* Product Metrics: It deals with the quality of the software product
* Project Metrics: It can be used to measure the efficiency of a project team or any testing
tools being used by the team members
Identification of correct testing metrics is very important. Few things need to be considered
before identifying the test metrics
* Fix the target audience for the metric preparation
* Define the goal for metrics
* Introduce all the relevant metrics based on project needs
* Analyze the cost benefits aspect of each metrics and the project lifestyle phase in which
it results in the maximum output
Manual Test Metrics
In Software Engineering, Manual test metrics are classified into two classes
* Base Metrics
* Calculated Metrics

Base Metrics (eet ico Vinge
Base metrics is the raw data collected by Test Analyst during the test case development and
execution (# of test cases executed, # of test cases). While calculated metrics are derived
from the data collected in base metrics. Calculated metrics is usually followed by the test
manager for test reporting purpose (% Complete, % Test Coverage).
Depending on the project or business model some of the important metrics are

Example of Test Metric
To understand how to calculate the test metrics, we will see an example of a percentage test
case executed.
To obtain the execution status of the test cases in percentage, we use the formula.
ntage test cases executed= (No of test cases executed/ Total no of
written) x 100
Likewise, you can calculate for other parameters like test cases not executed, test cases
passed, test cases failed, test cases blocked, etc.

Requirement Creep = ( Total number of requirements added/No of initial
requirements)X100
Schedule Variance = (Actual Date of Delivery - Planned Date of Delivery)
Cost of finding a defect in testing = ( Total effort spent on testing/ defects found in
testing)
Schedule slippage = (Actual end date - Estimated end date) / (Planned End Date -
Planned Start Date) X 100
Passed Test Cases Percentage = (Number of Passed Tests/Total number of tests
executed) X 100
Failed Test Cases Percentage = (Number of Failed Tests/Total number of tests executed)
X 100
Blocked Test Cases Percentage = (Number of Blocked Tests/Total number of tests
executed) X 100
Fixed Defects Percentage = (Defects Fixed/Defects Reported) X 100
Accepted Defects Percentage = (Defects Accepted as Valid by Dev Team /Total Defects
Reported) X 100
Defects Deferred Percentage = (Defects deferred for future releases /Total Defects
Reported) X 100
Critical Defects Percentage = (Critical Defects / Total Defects Reported) X 100
Average time for a development team to repair defects = (Total time taken for
bugfixes/Number of bugs)
Number of tests run per time period = Number of tests run/Total time
Test design efficiency = Number of tests designed /Total time
Test review efficiency = Number of tests reviewed /Total time
