QA Metrics – The Key to Quality in Software Testing

Testing your software is one thing. Measuring quality and making the right decisions another. TestRail helps you with both so that you meet your schedule and your quality guidelines.

1. Collect and Organize Test Cases

Split your test cases into test suites. Set project milestones and assign tasks to individual testers.

2. Track Execution and Test Results

Track the number of completed, failed, and rescheduled tests. Keep a complete history of all results.

3. Measure Progress and Success Rate

Project dashboards, clear reports, and email notifications tell you where you are in the test cycle.

4. Take Action in the Right Areas

Reports on all levels: from single test runs, milestones, to project reports guide your decisions.

Why QA metrics matter:

Quality assurance metrics are important for more than one reason. First and foremost, they are decision points that lead you to take action. How effective those actions are in improving your quality level depends on the metrics you choose.

QA metrics also help you judge your productivity and efficiency over time. How many test cases are added to new release? How many tests pass in the first run, how many require a retest, and how many lead to new bug reports?

TestRail helps you keep track of those QA metrics and much more. Reports on various levels give you insights about project status, milestones, or even individual test runs. All test results and project activity is archived so that you can learn from the past, discover trends, and be better prepared with each new release cycle.
