I think product risks outstanding is super crucial, surprised it's not more highlighted!

Wait, are we sure compliance to entry criteria is that relevant?

Tests run and passed is important too, but not as much.
LU

Totally agree, that's the best way to gauge quality.

Defects found vs defects expected is key!

I recall a practice question where product risks were highlighted as key metrics, so I’m leaning towards that option for monitoring quality.

Compliance to entry criteria seems important, but I feel like it might not give a complete picture of product quality.

I think tests run and tests passed is a common metric, but it might not capture the overall quality as well as some of the other options.

I remember discussing how defects found versus defects expected can really show the product's quality, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice here.
BR

I'm a little confused by this question. There are a few different quality metrics mentioned, and I'm not sure which one would be the most appropriate. I'll have to review my notes and think this through step-by-step.

Option A seems like the clear winner to me. Monitoring defects is the best way to track product quality, rather than just looking at tests passed or compliance to entry criteria.
ZO

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm trying to decide between A and E. Product risks seem important for quality, but defects found versus expected might be the more direct metric. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about quality metrics. I think the best option is A - defects found versus defects expected, as that directly measures product quality.

Defects expected? Sounds like my software development team has been making some wild promises again.

Compliance to entry criteria? What is this, a beauty pageant? I'll take 'tests run and tests passed' any day.

Compliance to entry criteria is like setting the standards for the product quality.

I agree, 'tests run and tests passed' is a good metric to monitor product quality.

But don't you think monitoring defects found versus expected gives a better indication of the product's quality?
GL

Well, if I was a defect, I'd much rather be 'expected' than 'found'! Option A for me.

User 2: Definitely, it's important to track defects found versus expected.

JA
Jannette 1 year ago
I was leaning towards E, since product risks are a key indicator of quality. But I suppose that's more focused on risk management than pure quality metrics.
OD
Odette 1 year ago
Option B looks the most straightforward to me. Tracking tests run and tests passed seems like a clear way to monitor product quality.
IZ

I disagree, I believe E) Product risks outstanding and new risks introduced is more important for monitoring product quality.
SK

I think A) Defects found versus defects expected would be the most appropriate metric.
