Which of the following would NOT be a common metric used for monitoring test preparation and execution?

ANumber of Test cases passed and failed

BPercentage of planned test cases designed

CNumber of test plan review comments

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Common metrics used for monitoring test preparation and execution typically include quantitative measures such as the number of test cases passed and failed, the percentage of planned test cases designed, and the percentage of tasks completed in test environment preparation. These metrics provide insights into the progress and effectiveness of the testing process. However, the number of test plan review comments is not a typical metric for this purpose, as it does not directly measure the progress or quality of test execution.

Wait, are we really not counting C? That seems odd.

The percentage of tasks complete in test environment preparation sounds relevant, but I wonder if it’s as commonly tracked as the others.

I’m leaning towards option C being the least common metric, but I could be wrong. It seems more like a process metric than a test execution one.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I feel like the percentage of planned test cases designed is usually important too.

I think the number of test cases passed and failed is definitely a common metric, but I'm not sure about the number of test plan review comments.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on common test metrics to make sure I choose the right answer.

The number of test plan review comments doesn't seem directly related to test execution, so that's my best guess for the answer.

Percentage of planned test cases designed - that sounds like a good one to track progress. I'll keep that in mind.

The number of test cases passed and failed seems like a pretty standard metric to me. But I'm not sure what the other options could be.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the common metrics used for test preparation and execution.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Percentage of tasks complete in test environment preparation, as it directly relates to the progress of test preparation.
