Evaluate Test Metric Thresholds

Guide ProjectEvaluate Test Metric Thresholds

Description

The initial test approach sets forth thresholds for test metrics. It is important to periodically evaluate how the project is progressing according to the metrics and adjust if necessary. The test effectiveness, bug rate, code coverage detail, and test result detail reports can provide the understanding of project progress. Course corrections can then be made to bring the project back into line if necessary.
