The Defect Escape Rate is your key to unlocking real quality improvement. Let's explore how to use it:
Track your progress! Compare Defect Escape Rate from release to release to see the impact of SeaLights' new processes.
No worries! Begin measuring after your first SeaLights release.
Make it a habit: track monthly or on your preferred schedule.
A decreasing Defect Escape Rate signifies quality improvement.
No significant change? Let's dig deeper:
Unaddressed Test Gaps: Escaping defects may be linked to the test gaps you chose not to address.
Low Quality Threshold: Is your bar set too low, letting defects slip through?
Test Strategy Optimization: Focus on component tests? Time for more integration or end-to-end tests!
