Are We Ready To Release in Terms of Quality?

View all Usage Patterns

It is virtually impossible to forecast a release date without quality metrics. What is the current product quality? How many test cases failed in the current iteration? Which User Stories are not completed yet? With manual test cases module, TargetProcess provides two reports that answer these questions.

The Test Cases Runs by Release/Iteration/Build report shows the overall quality state of releases/iterations/builds. For example, the chart below shows that even in the latest release there are some failed test cases, but in general product quality increases over releases.

The Test Cases by User Story report shows the quality of specific User Stories. You can see the quality of all User Stories in the current release or current iteration. For example, the chart below shows that only one User Story has a failed test case, while three other User Stories are completed and tested. Thus TargetProces supports the Running Tested Features (RTF) concept.

With all this information in hand, it is easier to make decisions on which User Story could be dropped from a release and whichUser Story has more problems and requires more attention.

TargetProcess provides information about quality problems during iteration/release. Bugs Dynamics report shows how many bugs were found/fixed/closed with the flow of time. It is easy to define whether release convergence is there.
