QualitoMeter™ is a balanced set of metrics that provide indicators helping the managers to 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 signals quality deterioration if any negative development is noticed. This helps to take timely corrective actions when the measurements listed here fall below a preset objective. This helps in determining Schedule Slips, Quality of product being developed and amount of rework/maintenance once product is in production.
Qualitometer™ comprises the following set of metrics:
Requirement Traceability Metrics – Measure the requirement stability of a particular iteration
Efficient requirements management can help prevent Defects early in testing cycle, thereby reducing project costs. RTM helps us to track down the state of the critical business requirements in various phases. It performs the mapping between the software requirement 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
Test progress metrics measure the following parameters:
 |
Number of test cases executed against the documented requirements |
|
Number of test cases successfully completed |
|
Number of invalidated test cases |
|
Number and type of defects logged against each requirement |
The defects summary enclosed in the chart alongside helps to determine and compare the stability of iteration with respect to the previous iteration.
Defect Metrics – Measure the stability of the entire build with respect to the release readiness.
Defect Metrics are a strong indicator which help managers get an insight into the quality of the product, effectiveness of testing by measuring the following parameters:
| |
The number of defects detected and fixed i.e find to fix ratio |
|
The type and severity of the defects |
|
Relationship between the status of bugs/new feature with respect to the requirement for a particular duration. |
|
Defect containment effectiveness: it measures the effectiveness in containing defects found during testing prior production, by comparing the number of defects found and closed from iteration to iteration |
|
Defect Resolution Effectiveness It measures the effectiveness in defect discovery and resolution by comparing the number of defects found and closed prior to production 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. |
