Software Quality Metrics Document

Project: Human Resource Management Software Application


Version: 1.0

Date: September 7, 2024

1. Introduction
This document outlines the key software quality metrics used to evaluate the quality,
performance, and reliability of the ABC Software Application. These metrics are critical to
ensure the software meets the specified requirements and delivers a satisfactory user
experience.

2. Quality Objectives
The main objectives of these metrics are to:
- Ensure high product quality and maintainability.
- Identify and mitigate risks early in the development cycle.
- Provide actionable insights to improve the software testing and development process.
- Track overall performance, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

3. Key Software Quality Metrics

3.1. Test Coverage


Definition: The percentage of the application’s code or functionality that is covered by test
cases.

Measurement:
- Code Coverage: (Number of lines covered by tests / Total lines of code) * 100
- Functional Coverage: (Number of features tested / Total number of features) * 100

Goal: Achieve 90% code coverage and 95% functional coverage by the end of the testing
phase.

Reporting Frequency: Weekly

Current Status: 85% code coverage, 90% functional coverage

3.2. Defect Density


Definition: The number of defects identified per 1,000 lines of code (KLOC).

Measurement: (Number of defects / KLOC)


Goal: Maintain a defect density below 0.2 defects per KLOC.

Reporting Frequency: Monthly

Current Status: 0.15 defects per KLOC

3.3. Defect Removal Efficiency (DRE)


Definition: The percentage of defects found and fixed before release compared to total
defects (including those found post-release).

Measurement: (Defects removed before release / Total defects) * 100

Goal: Achieve a DRE of 95%.

Reporting Frequency: After each release

Current Status: 92% (Last Release)

4. Analysis and Actions


- Defect Density is currently below the target threshold, which indicates a strong
development and testing process.
- Test Coverage is close to the goal, but additional testing is needed to improve both code
and functional coverage.
- Customer-Reported Defects are higher than desired. A review of customer-reported bugs
is required to assess areas of weakness.
- MTTR is above the goal threshold. The team will focus on reducing repair times by
improving the debugging process and prioritizing critical fixes.

5. Conclusion
These software quality metrics provide key insights into the health and stability of the HRM
Software Application. Continuous tracking and improvement of these metrics will help
deliver a high-quality product and meet the project’s overall goals.
Next Steps:
- Implement additional automated tests to improve test coverage.
- Increase focus on reducing code churn in upcoming sprints.
- Conduct post-release analysis to address customer-reported defects.
