QA Metrics and Test Environments

QA Metrics

The QA Metrics dashboard provides insights into your testing health.

Accessing Metrics

1. Navigate to QA > Metrics.
2. View metrics including defect detection rate, test effectiveness, reusability, effort variance, maintenance indicators, and reverse coverage.

Key Metrics

• Defect Detection Rate: Percentage of defects found during testing vs. total defects
• Test Effectiveness: Ratio of passed tests to total executed tests
• Reusability: How often test cases are reused across cycles
• Effort Variance: Difference between estimated and actual test duration
• Maintenance Indicators: Test cases that may need updating

Trends

View trend charts to see how metrics change over time and identify patterns in your testing process.

Test Environments

Creating a Test Environment

1. Navigate to QA > Test Environments.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter the environment name and description (e.g., “Staging”, “Production”, “QA”).

Test environments can be associated with test executions to track which environment each test was run against.
