2) Effort variance = (Actual effort - Planned Effort)/Planned effort * 100

3) Defect unearthing efficiency = 100 * STRs found in pass 1/ ( STRs found in pass 1 + STRs found in pass 2 but existing in pass 1) = Defect unearthing efficiency for pass 1.
Thus defect unearthing efficiency can be found for all passes.

Also defect unearthing efficiency in terms of field STRs could be found as follows:

= 100 * Total STRs found in Polaris for a release/ (Total STRs found in Polaris for a release + Field STRs for that release)

4) Test case efficiency = (Total STRs - STRs not mapped)/Total STRs * 100
5) Test case coverage = (Total Test cases - STRs that cannot be mapped to test cases)/ Total Test Cases * 100

PRODUCTIVITY METRICS

1. OUTPUT / INPUT OR VALUE OF MATERIAL / COST OF PRODUCTION

Eg: Non Commented Software Source (NCSS) Per Engineer Per Month
NCSS per Person Month
NCSS per Function Point
NCSS can also be replaced by KLOC (Kilo Lines of Code)

QUALITY METRICS

1. DEFECTS PER KLOC
2. DEFECTS PER FUNCTION POINT
3. % OF MAINTENANCE / PROJECT EFFORT
4. POST RELEASE STABILITY
5. PREDELIVERY DEFECT REMOVAL EFFICIENCY
6. DELIVERED DEFECTS PER KLOC
7. (COST OF REWORK / TOTAL COST ) X 100

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT METRICS

1. PROCESS IMPROVEMENT OR OVERALL EFFICIENCY = RETURN ON INVESTMENT
2. % OF RECYCYLED CODE
3. % OF CALENDER TIME / PHASE
4. INCREASED RETURNS / INCREASED COST
5. % OF DEFECTS IN PHASE OF THIS YEAR / % OF DEFECTS IN PHASE OF LAST YEAR
6. DIFFICULTY COMPLEXITY = McCABE COMPLEXITY
7. TOTAL RECORDED PRE-DELIVERY DEFECTS / TOTAL FOUND DURING UAT
8. POST RELEASE DISCOVERED DEFECTS DENSITY OVER PERIOD

OTHERS

1. TEST COMPLETION CRITERIA = NO. OF HOURS OF TEST WITHOUT BUGS
2. DEFECTS PER WEEK
3. % BRANCH COVERAGE BY TEST
4. MAINTAINABILITY = MEAN TIME TO CORRECT
5. INTEGRITY = Σ ( 1 – THREAT X (1 – SECURITY) )
6. USABILITY = NET INCREASE IN PRODUCTION OVER EARLIER SYSTEM
7. CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR = VOLATALITY INDEX
8. CUSOMER BEHAVIOR = NO OF CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS OVER A PERIOD
9. PRODUCTIVITY = $ PER KLOC
KLOC PER MONTH
MONTHS PER KLOC

10. DOCUMENTATION = PAGES PER KLOC PAGES PER PERSOM MONTHS $ PER PAGE
11. QUALITY = ERRORS PER KLOC $ PER ERROR
12. FUNCTIONALITY = FUNCTION POINT PER PROGRAM, FUNCTION POINT PER KLOC MAINTAINED
13. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION = NO. OF COMPLAINTS / PERIOD OF TIME
1 / NO. OF COMPLAINTS
