What are the important defect metrics to measure the quality of test execution?
Hey Toby!
A few metrics are helpful when you want to measure the quality of test execution. These are as follows
- Defect rejection ratio: Number of defects rejected/Total number of defects identified)*100
- Defect leakage ratio: Number of defects missed/Total number of defects identified)*100.
If the value of DRR and DLR is between 5~10%, the better the quality of the test execution.

Actually, when it comes to defect metrics to measure the quality of test execution, there are so many factors that must be necessarily measured. Right from measuring test effort to test effectiveness, test coverage, and test economy, there are so many KPIs that allow a tester to learn and measure the quality achieved.
