How do you measure the effectiveness of QA engineering test content?
Test Coverage Ratio: Calculate the percentage of requirements, user stories or code paths exercised by existing test cases to ensure comprehensive coverage of functional and non-functional specifications.
Defect Detection Index: Divide the number of defects found during testing by the total defects identified post-release to evaluate test case effectiveness and identify coverage gaps.
Test Case Efficiency: Assess defects uncovered per test execution hour or per test case to prioritize high-yield scenarios and optimize resource allocation.
Automation Coverage: Measure the proportion of test cases automated versus manual to gauge ROI, reduce execution time and maintain consistency across regression cycles.
Escaped Defects Rate: Track defects discovered by end users after deployment to determine the real-world impact of testing and refine test strategies accordingly.
Traceability Matrix Health: Review the alignment between requirements, test cases and defects in a traceability matrix to validate that every critical business scenario is covered and easily traceable.
