Software Quality Metrics for Testers

When implementing software quality metrics, we need to first understand the purpose of the metrics and who will be using them. Will the metric be used to measure people or the process, to illustrate the level of quality in software products, or to drive toward a specific objective? QA managers typically want to deliver productivity metrics to management but management may want to see metrics that describe customer or user satisfaction. Philip Lew believes that software quality metrics without actionable objectives toward increasing customer satisfaction are a waste of time.
