Test Effectiveness, Test Efficiency and Test Coverage

Test Effectiveness = ((Defects removed in a phase) / (Defect injected + Defect escaped)) * 100

 

Test Efficiency = (Test Defects / (Test Defects + Acceptance Defects)) * 100

 

Test defects = Unit + Integration + System defects

Acceptance Defects = Bugs found by the customer

 

Test Coverage: You might have to use some instrumentation insert some hooks in the code (functions/branches) which will give the report of the Test Coverage.

 

Metrics By definition = # of testable branches tested / total # of branches.

Also it has capabilities to capture and execute CMMi and other process related best practices for knowledge retention and reuse.
