Qualitometer Combinations
QualitoMeter™ is a balanced set of metrics that provide indicators helping managers get an insight into the quality of the product, software reliability, and the effectiveness of testing by measuring various parameters like requirement stability of a particular iteration, stability of a build with respect to the previous build, and stability of the entire build with respect to release readiness.

Qualitometer™ enables us to maintain the quality of our QA process. It’s designed in such a way that it is uses only a few manageable and important metrics which signal quality deterioration. This helps to take timely corrective actions when the measurements listed fall below a preset threshold. This helps determine schedule slips, quality of product being developed and amount of rework/maintenance once product is in production.


Qualitometer™ comprises of the following set of metrics:

Requirement Traceability Metrics(RTM) – Measure the requirement stability of a particular iteration

Efficient requirements management can help prevent defects early in the test cycle, thereby reducing project costs. RTM helps us track down the state of critical business requirements in various phases. It performs the mapping between software requirements and test cases. It gives us an indication of specific requirements that are lagging behind in terms of writing use cases and getting them reviewed/base lined.

Test Progress Metrics – measure the stability of a build with respect to the previous build by measuring the following parameters:

arrow Number of test cases executed against the documented requirements
arrow Number of test cases successfully completed
arrow Number of invalidated test cases
arrow Number and type of defects logged against each requirement


Defect Metrics – Measure the stability of the entire build with respect to the release readiness by measuring the following:

arrow The number of defects detected and fixed i.e find to fix ratio
arrow The type and severity of the defects
arrow Relationship between the status of bugs/new feature with respect to the requirement for a particular duration.
arrow Defect Containment Effectiveness: measure the effectiveness in containing defects found during testing prior to production, by comparing the number of defects found and closed from iteration to iteration
arrow Defect Resolution Effectiveness: measure the effectiveness in defect discovery and resolution by comparing the number of defects found and closed prior to release, with the number that remain open after release.

Our unique methodology deals with identifying a customized and balanced set of metrics that will help your organization track the progress of the project towards the ultimate goal i.e setting up clear release criteria and objectively signing off on the quality of the product. It explores the possibility of quantifying and assessing various aspects of the software resulting in a successful organization-wide metrics program.
