Use metrics for high-level control over the testing process. The list of metrics with their values is available in "Metrics" module. The following metrics are calculated in "Testing" category:
| Metric | Purpose and rules of calculation |
|---|---|
| Coverage of requirements by test documentation, % | The implemented requirements must be verified. The test documentation is used for that purpose. If a requirement is not bound to the test scenario, that can mean that this requirement is not verified. Rate of coverage of requirements by test documentation allows to identify and eliminate such cases. On the other hand, not all requirements need to be covered by tests, e.g., requirement having "General information" or "Business requirement” type. Coverage rate is calculated only for those requirements whose type is marked by "Requirements are tested" option. If requirement typing is not used in the project, coverage rate is calculated using all requirements. |
| Obsolete test scenarios, % | When the source requirements are changed, system marks derived test scenarios as obsolete. Testers must update such requirements. The metric allows to monitor the presence of obsolete test scenarios. |
