Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Purpose of the Questio n :

Identifying metrics to improve the defect reporting process by reducing ambiguities or improving accuracy.

Evaluation of Options:

A . Number of defect reports re-opened:

Incorrect. This reflects issues with defect resolution rather than reporting.

B . Number of defects in a particular area of the code:

Incorrect. This metric pertains to defect clustering, not the reporting process.

C . Number of defect reports rejected by the developers:

Correct. Rejected reports often indicate poor reporting quality (e.g., insufficient details, incorrect categorization), directly highlighting areas for improvement.

D . Number of defects found in a phase later than they were introduced:

Incorrect. This is a measure of defect detection efficiency, not reporting quality.

Syllabus Alignment:

The syllabus stresses the importance of using defect metrics to refine processes, including reporting accuracy (TM-2.3.5).

The number of defects found in a later phase than they were introduced is a great indicator. It can help us catch issues earlier in the development cycle.

I believe the number of defect reports rejected by the developers is also crucial, as it shows potential issues with the reporting process itself.

The number of defect reports rejected by developers is an interesting statistic. It might reveal communication or process problems between QA and development.

The number of defect reports re-opened seems like a good metric to track. It could indicate issues with the original defect resolution process.
