This document discusses quality metrics for agile software development. It outlines metrics for defects tracking, code coverage, and other measures of quality. Other metrics mentioned include cohesion and coupling, which measure how well code elements belong together and depend on each other. Additional metrics discussed are source lines of code, cyclomatic complexity, function point analysis, and program runtime, which provide information on code size, complexity, functionality, and performance. All of these metrics can help measure aspects of software quality.
One of the most challenging problems that test managers face involves implementing effective, meaningful, and insightful test metrics. Data and measures are the foundation of true understanding, but the misuse of metrics causes confusion, bad decisions, and demotivation. Rex Black shares how to avoid these unfortunate situations by using metrics properly as part of your test management process. How can we measure our progress in testing a project? What can metrics tell us about the quality of the product? How can we measure the quality of the test process itself? Rex answers these questions, illustrated with case studies and real-life examples. Learn how to use test case metrics, coverage metrics, and defect metrics in ways that demonstrate status, quantify effectiveness, and support smart decision making. Exercises provide immediate opportunities for you to apply the techniques to your own testing metrics. Join Rex to jump-start a new testing metrics program or gain new ideas to improve your existing one.
Software Testing is a very time consuming activity and consumes enormous amount of effort in any software project. It makes sense to improve productivity of software testing as well as to reduce the defect density in the software, so that overall economy in the project is achieved. In order to do this, we need to understand the defects, their root causes and be able to predict their outcome in advance during estimation.
This presentation by Oaksys is an attempt to share its experience of over 10 years (1998-2008) with the practitioners.
It can be confusing for everyone in an agile team to understand when or what to test, when there isn't a test phase or any formal documented requirements. Whatever your agile methodology, projects require a change in the way QA and development work together. The use of technology and automation are much more difficult and finding a practical approach to testing is critical for successful agile projects.
In the Webinar presentation, George Wilson explored how testing in agile is different and revealed pragmatic advice to ensure that application quality, within an agile environment, isn't compromised. Listen to the archive Webinar discussion on the techniques for quickly getting control of manual testing and progressing to automated testing in agile, which will leave you with fresh thinking to resolve or prevent any testing dysfunctions in your agile teams.

The disconnect between the delivery organization and the business is prevalent in the software industry. Somewhere along the line, the real vision behind our projects gets lost. We all know it. Can better metrics help? This session examines some common and not-so-common metrics and introduces Evidence Based Management as a guide for continuously measuring your business goals, aligning them with your software development efforts, and then deciding what to do next.

Regulated Software Testing - Griffin Jones - TISQA 2014Griffin Jones
Regulated software is consequential software, subject to authoritative outside review. Even experienced software testers can have an Alice-In-Wonderland feeling the first time they test a regulated product. Many aspects of software testing are surprisingly exactly the same as testing unregulated software, while others are surprisingly completely different. Why is that? What parts are surprisingly similar or different? Griffin shares experiences of testing FDA regulated systems, and similar software (e.g., financial systems, aircraft controls, insurance, and online gaming) – drawing examples from the participants of the Workshop on Regulated Software Testing (WREST), and himself. We examine the what, why, and how certain software is regulated - and the duties imposed on companies and individuals. We highlight some of the surprising aspects, such as: test design and execution; tools and automation; accuracy and rigor; traceability and authorization; evidence and record keeping; the halting problem; process standardization and predictability; human variability and adaptability; technology choices; morality and ethics; and business pressures. Leave with more insight into and less surprise about the challenges of testing regulated software.

Decreasing false positives in automated testingSauce Labs
False positives: automated testing’s arch nemesis.
When automated tests are written well, they are part of a healthy CI/CD process that can save developer time and company money. But when a team gets false positives from unreliable tests, the entire build can get derailed. What’s worse, too many false positives can erode an organization's belief in the value of using a test automation framework at all.

Agile Metrics - ASTQB Workshop by Philip Lew - XBOSoftXBOSoft
When implementing software quality metrics, you need to first understand the purpose of the metric and who will be using it. Will the metric be used for measuring people, the process, illustrate the level of quality in software products, or drive towards a specific objective? QA managers typically want to deliver productivity metrics, while management may want to see metrics that support customer or user satisfaction or cost related (ROI) initiatives.
With agile development methods, we often lose sight that our primary objective is the same: quality. We’ve also added the primary objective of velocity. However, we don’t now how to measure it other than ‘velocity’ itself.
With a agile mindset, define quality for your organization with an agile looking glass. Deliver software quality metrics with actionable objectives toward increasing or improving agile’s two primary objectives, quality and velocity for working software.
You Will Learn:
-- Mistakes people make in agile metrics and how to avoid them.
-- How to consistently and systematically improve root causes of low velocity.
-- How to reduce rework.
-- How to analyze your agile process and determine meaningful metrics to present to management.

XBOSoft runs through the Top 10 Agile Metrics revealing the most fundamental data points Agile methodology requires to work effectively, and will put you on the highly targeted path to successful implementation of your Agile processes.
XBOSoft and Go2Group run through the top data points you should be measuring in your Agile Workflow. We’ll show you what to track, when and how often, and most importantly – why. Many believe that metrics are useless, but unless you measure, how can you systematically improve or know how you are doing? And with velocity as an overarching objective in agile, you should be tracking other things so that you know what else you could be impacting by going faster. But, with all the metrics so readily available to us today, how do we filter through to the most meaningful?

: A Guide To Measuring Software
Quality
Defects Tracking
Code Coverage
Other Quality Measuring Metrics
Metrics That Should be Avoided
2. Other Quality Measuring Metrics
• Cohesion
The degree to which the elements of a module belong
together
Ordinal Type : High cohesion and Low Cohesion
Associates with several desirable traits of software including
robustness, reliability, reusability
• Coupling
The manner and degree of interdependence between
software modules
Usually contrasted with Cohesion
Supports goals like readability and maintainability
3. Other Quality Measuring Metrics
• Source Lines Of Code (SLOC)
The numbers of line in the text of the source code
Associates with maintainability and program
productivity
• Cyclomatic Complexity
Developed by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr. in 1976
Quantitative measure of the number of linearly
independent paths through a program's source code
Measured using “Control Flow graph”
4. Other Quality Measuring Metrics
• Function Point Analysis
Measures Software size
Express amount of functionality provided by S/W to user
• Program Load, Compile and Execution Time
In simple term “runtime or execution” time
Directly related to SLOC and Complexity of Source code
They are all measurable
All related to one or more S/W Quality characteristics
