Test Metrics Without Tears The profile of testing has been raised significantly in the last few years, largely due to Year 2000 issues. Organizations accept that they need to systematically and thoroughly test software, and they are demanding the same levels of efficiency that are expected from all other areas of their businesses. Now it is necessary to provide evidence that the activities of the test team are an effective and efficient use of staff. Learn how such evidence can be obtained and reported with minimal overhead on testing resources.

Test Progress Reporting Using Functional Readiness Are you looking for a way to effectively set the expectations of senior management? The Functional Readiness Matrix (FRM) is a decision-making tool that offers a simple way to represent test progress based on the functional areas or features of an application. By enabling the test team to track actual test progress against the implementation goals established early on, the FRM allows for the presentation of valid test metrics to management in a way they can understand.

Managing the Test Effort Using Requirements-Based Testing Metrics It's difficult to quantify the true state of a test effort. Often, it's measured by quantity of work combined with deadline compliance. But if this is the case, then the true level of quality remains unknown. The Requirements-Based Testing (RBT) process offers a set of metrics that can be utilized throughout the development cycle. These metrics can provide an accurate picture of the test effort at any given time.
