What key metrics are used to assess the quality of testing in RSI Phase 5?

The metrics of defect density, test execution coverage, and pass/fail rates are key indicators in assessing the quality of testing in RSI Phase 5.

Defect density measures the number of defects confirmed in a software module relative to its size, providing insight into the software's reliability and the effectiveness of the testing process. A lower defect density indicates higher quality and fewer issues in production.

Test execution coverage assesses the percentage of test cases that have been executed relative to the total number of planned tests. It helps determine how thoroughly the different aspects of the software have been tested, ensuring that all functionalities are covered.

Pass/fail rates indicate the results of the tests conducted, showing how many test cases passed versus how many failed. This metric reflects the overall stability and readiness of the software for release.

Together, these metrics enable teams to quantitatively evaluate the quality of their software testing efforts and make informed decisions about further improvements or areas of focus. In contrast, user satisfaction and interface design focus more on user experience rather than the technical quality of testing, while cost of development and deployment speed, as well as team productivity and stakeholder engagement, deal with different aspects of project management and execution rather than the direct quality of testing itself.
