Why is 'number of test cases executed' a weak quality metric?
- 1Tools can't count executed test cases reliably
- 2It always rises, so it can't show any trend
- 3It measures activity, not how well the product was tested
Show the answer
Correct answer: It measures activity, not how well the product was tested
Explanation
Running 500 shallow tests says less than 50 well-chosen ones. Useful metrics relate to risk, coverage of requirements and escaped defects.
