Metrics are used to measure certain performance indices [ donot mistake performance to testing ]. like your company might have set a standard that bug escape rate must not be more than 10%.so you calculate Bug Escape Rate. This is one of the metric associated with a set of Test Metrics.

Test Metrics is a mechanism to know the effectiveness of the testing that can be measured quantitatively.

 

Metrics are produced in two forms ? Base Metrics and Derived Metrics.

Example of Base Metrics:
# Test Cases
# New Test Cases
# Test Cases Executed
# Test Cases Unexecuted
# Test Cases Re-executed
# Passes
# Fails
# Test Cases Under Investigation
# Test Cases Blocked
# 1st Run Fails
Test Case Execution Time
# Testers

Example of Derived Metrics:
% Test Cases Complete
% Test Cases Passed
% Test Cases Failed
% Test Cases Blocked
% Test Defects Corrected

 

 

Cheers
