The set of metrics used for analysis, evaluation and tracking varies depending on the specific project criteria. Project managers can introduce any additional metrics that they deem feasible, valuable, or conductive to make project more efficient.
The baseline set of metrics, which TrustQA teams use as a starting point projects of all types, sizes and duration (where measurement is technically possible) are:
- Percentage of Function As Designed (FAD) defects Profitability
- Defect validation performance (speed of defect check)
- Percentage of To Be Reformulated (TBR) defects
- Percentage of Rejected defects
- Active defects by importance
- Defect processing time
- Overall defect density
- Defect life cycle
- Defect boost
- Productivity
