Introduce or enhance monitoring & controlling

  1. Monitor project execution via metrics, dashboards in order to apply control techniques to fix deviations any, or identify issues or risks early in time.

  2. Configure the PERF via DC to receive fresh data on daily basis.

  3. Assess time spent on bug fixing metric, and allocate more time on bug fixing and verification activity, OR add dedicated bug handling task estimated in exact number of hours

  4. Estimate bugs using quality debt metric (average h=time spent on all handled issues/total number of issues) to be able to evaluate whether all logged issues will be fixed in the iteration

  5. Ensure to measure delivery health by means of key performance indicators in engineering, quality, productivity, progress/schedule, scope, processes hygiene, team health, stakeholder engagement and satisfaction (CSAT).

EngX recommendations

  • Track and analyze at least the following QA metrics on a regular basis:

    • Defect Containment Effectiveness

    • Reopen Defect ratio

    • Invalid Defect ratio

  • Once E2E automated testing is implemented, collect the following metrics:

    • Test Automation Stability

    • Test Automation Coverage

    • Test Automation Progress

    • Automation tests execution time

    • ROI (save the time of manual functional software engineers)
