Metrics Provide a valuable insight to a Testing, Development and Stakeholders about a software progress and it enables to make informed decisions about software development. These Metrics at below will provide a better understanding of How software is going through in different phases such as STLC and SDLC.

In manual testing, various metrics can be utilized to measure the effectiveness, progress, and quality of the testing process.

  1. Test Case Execution Metrics:
    • Number of test cases executed: Count of test cases executed.
    • Number of test cases passed/failed: Count of test cases that passed or failed during execution.
    • Test case execution rate: (Number of test cases executed / Total time taken for execution) * 100
  2. Defect Metrics:
    • Defect density: (Number of defects identified / Size of the product) * 1000 (or any suitable unit)
    • Defect detection rate: (Number of defects identified / Total time taken for testing) * 100
    • Defect severity: Defects categorized based on their severity levels.
  3. Test Coverage Metrics:
    • Requirements coverage: (Number of requirements covered by test cases / Total number of requirements) * 100
    • Code coverage: (Number of lines/branches covered by tests / Total number of lines/branches) * 100
    • Functional coverage: (Number of functional features tested / Total number of functional features) * 100
  4. Test Execution Time Metrics:
    • Time taken to execute test cases: Total time taken to execute all test cases.
    • Time to fix defects: Total time taken to fix all defects identified during testing.
  5. Test Progress Metrics:
    • Test case completion rate: (Number of executed test cases / Total planned test cases) * 100
    • Remaining test effort: Total planned effort - Effort spent on testing.
  6. Test Effectiveness Metrics:
    • Defect rejection rate: (Number of defects reported by customers after release / Total number of defects identified) * 100
    • Customer satisfaction: Subjective measure based on user feedback.
  7. Resource Utilization Metrics:
    • Tester productivity: (Number of test cases executed / Total time spent by testers on testing)
    • Test environment availability: (Total time test environment available / Total time required for testing) * 100
  8. Test Documentation Metrics:
    • Test case documentation completeness: (Number of documented test cases / Total planned test cases) * 100
    • Requirement traceability: (Number of requirements traced to test cases / Total number of requirements) * 100
  9. Test Retesting and Regression Metrics:
    • Test coverage of regression testing: (Number of regression test cases executed / Total number of regression test cases) * 100
    • Regression test execution time: Total time taken to execute all regression tests.

A Well Comprehensive Test plan for Manual Testing

By
  Scope Definition: Define the scope based on specifications and requirements provided. However, also include exploratory testing to uncover issues that might not be explicitly mentioned in the requirements. Consider factors like usability, accessibility, security, and performance to broaden the scope beyond just functional testing. Considering factors like usability, accessibility, and security in the scope definition is essential for ensuring a comprehensive testing approach that goes beyond functional requirements Test Case Design: Use a combination of traditional methods like boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, and decision tables for structured testing. Incorporate exploratory testing techniques to explore the application and identify unexpected behaviour or edge cases. Prioritize test cases based on risk assessment and criticality. can implement the shift-left approach in...

Essential of Creating Test plan in Testing

By
  Why Test Plan is Vital Document! Test Planning process and plan itself serve as vehicle for communicating with other members of the project team, tester, Dev, BA, Peer and other stakeholders. This communication allows the test plan to influence the project team and allows the project team to influence the test plan. We can accomplish this Communication through circulation of one or more test plan drafts and through review meeting. E.g.: Please tell me what the plan is for releasing the test items into the test lab for each cycle of test execution E.g.: Please let me know which version of the test tool   will be used for the regression tests of the previous increment. A test plan Document becomes the record of previous discussions and agreements. Test Plan helps us to Manage the change if you are in Agile , have to this as Handy. Ways to write a Test Plan Document. Analyze the Product: Understand the product's objectives, target users, specific...

How test steps and Expected result and actual result should get differ each other and be unique?

By
  Test steps are action-oriented and describe the registration process, the expected result outlines the desired outcomes, and the actual result provides observations on what actually occurred during the execution of the test case.   Each section serves a unique purpose and together forms a comprehensive test case.  Any discrepancies between the expected and actual results can be easily identified and addressed . Test steps, expected results, and actual results in test cases should be distinct and unique to provide clarity, avoid ambiguity, and facilitate effective communication between testers and other stakeholders. Here are some guidelines on how to make them differ and unique: Test Steps: 1. Sequential and Clear: • Test steps should be listed in a sequential and clear manner.  • Each step should represent a specific action that the tester needs to perform. 2. Action-Oriented: • Use action-oriented language in test steps.  • Clearly state what actions ...
