KEY METRICS
3
Defect Detection Rate (DDR): Measures the efficiency of
the testing process in identifying defects.
Test Coverage: Measures the percentage of code that has
been tested.
Test Efficiency: Evaluates the cost-effectiveness of the
testing process.

DEFECT DETECTION RATE (DDR)
4
Definition of DDR: The percentage of defects found
during testing.
Importance of high DDR: Indicates thorough testing and
higher software quality.
Formula: DDR = (Defects Found / Total Defects) * 100.
5. www.ateamsoftsolutions.com
TEST COVERAGE
5
Definition of test coverage: The extent to which the code
has been tested.
Importance of high test coverage: Ensures that all parts
of the software are tested.
Formula: Test Coverage = (Lines Covered / Total Lines) *
100.

TEST EFFICIENCY
6
Definition of test efficiency: The cost-effectiveness of the
testing process.
Importance of cost-effective testing: Ensures that
resources are used efficiently.
Formula: Test Efficiency = (Defects Found / Total Cost of
Testing).

BEST PRACTICES
Define clear and measurable objectives: Objectives
should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and
time-bound (SMART).
Align objectives with project goals: Ensure that testing
objectives support the overall project goals.
Continuously monitor and evaluate: Regularly review
progress against objectives and adjust as needed.

ALIGN OBJECTIVES WITH
PROJECT GOALS
Ensure testing objectives support overall project goals.
Example: If the project goal is to improve user experience,
testing objectives should focus on usability testing.
