An organization needs to have a reference set of measurable attributes and corresponding metrics that can be applied at various stages during the course of execution of an organization-wide testing strategy.

The attributes to be measured depend on the following factors:

  • Time and phase in the software testing lifecycle.
  • New business needs.
  • Ultimate goal of the project.,

Therefore, we discuss measurable attributes for software testing and the corresponding metrics based on the attribute categorization done by Wasif Afzal and Richard Torkar, as shown in below table These attributes are discussed in the subsequent sections.
