Questcon Presents Two Complimentary Test Metrics Webinars!
All successful QA improvement programs must have a way to measure program effectiveness. No executive manager would (or should) continue investing money into such a program without some means to objectively measure the value and success of the new processes. When tracked and used properly, test metrics provide tangible evidence to demonstrate gains in financial and business performance achieved through improved software quality.

Effective Metrics for Managing a Test Effort
When managing a test effort, test leads and test managers sometimes find it difficult to empirically convey the impacts of scope changes, delays and defects to upper management. This class introduces a set of well-defined test metrics related to tracking and managing a testing effort. It demonstrates how to consistently apply these metrics to software projects and how to improve communication of findings to the rest of the organization. By the end of this session attendees will have a better understanding of concepts such as test metrics philosophy, base test metrics, management test metrics and interpreting test metrics. |

S-Curves and the Zero Bug Bounce: Plotting Your Way to More Effective Test Management
The use of objective test metrics is an important step toward improving the ability to effectively manage any test effort. Two significant test metrics concepts, the S-Curve and Zero Bug Bounce, allow test leads and test managers to easily track the progress of a test effort, improve the ability to communicate test results and test needs to the project team and make better decisions regarding when an application is ready to be delivered. At the end of this session, attendees will know how to establish an S-Curve, why it is important in testing, what metrics can be tracked using the S-Curve and how to track them. The presentation will also cover how to create a Zero Bug Bounce, why it is important in tracking defects and how to interpret the graphs created by these metrics. |
