- 7. Has your organization ever considered replacing a tester that did not write, for example, 15 test cases per day? Is the testing team blamed if defect leakage is greater than 5% into production? What drives decisions like these? The common thread in these examples is “Test Metrics”
- 8. Everyone has an opinion… Some believe they are the most valuable way to communicate the results of testing Some think that they are useless, misleading, and damaging to the communication of test results Some believe that without measurement you are not managing the effort. And some believe that bad metrics are worse than no metrics at all.
- 9. Is your team aligned? Do you agree with the team? Do you use a reporting process for test results? Are you forced to report on metrics you don't believe are valuable? Do you have dozens of metrics that you are reporting periodically that no one looks at, and when they do look at them, there is room for misinterpretation?
