T-2 Measuring and Improving Your Test Processes - By Robin Goldsmith
Testing effectiveness is determined by your testing process—the way you do things to produce your results. To improve test results, you must improve your testing process, and that requires meaningful, valid and reliable objective measurement. Defect data are the most obvious testing artifact to measure, but they must be put in context and coupled with other key factors. Not only do we tend to miss important measures, but we often overwhelm ourselves with too many measurements.
This interactive tutorial describes a minimum set of metrics that your test and QA teams need to know, ways to make those measures within appropriate contexts, and methods to analyze and report to guide improvement. You'll learn techniques for overcoming resistance when getting started and engage in practical exercises to see how to apply these techniques.
