Quality Metrics & Feedback
This segment covers metrics and feedback loops that make quality visible and steerable. It includes signals from test runs, defect patterns, change frequency, runtime and stability, and how these signals are interpreted in the context of risks and goals. The focus is on meaningful measurement and feedback, independent of specific test types or toolchains.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
A structured approach to identify the root causes of problems.
Defect Metrics
Systematic measures for capturing, assessing, and managing software defects. Supports prioritization, quality monitoring and trend analysis for continuous improvement.
