Academia vs Industry (=the Real World)

Academia Industry

The Real World…

We still have testers!

And we love them!

So whyTest your Testers?

ContinuesRisk-based Testing

The Metrics that don’t matter

Total # of defects

• How many defects does your application currently

have that are open

• The quantity of defects is no longer as relevant as

it once was

Direct coverage

• Test coverage of a feature (manual/automated)

• ”Done is done”

Unit testing coverage

• % of code covered by unit tests

• The majority of defects are detected during

integration testing and end-to-end testing

The Metrics that Really matter

% of escaped defects

• Escaped defects are those that are missed by the

tester and found by the end user

• Ensures that you’re focusing on the most

important defects and areas that are important to

the end user

Time to Test

• Getting from ‘in-testing’ to ‘done’

• Measuring the efficiency of the tester and

determining how slowly or quickly they are

completing tasks.

Defect resolution time

• Time it takes a defect to be fixed and verified

• The majority of defects are detected during integration testing and end-to-end testing

Quality Beats Quantity
