ABSTRACT

In-Process testing metrics has been used from some years and its usage is frequently increasing. There are different metrics for software testing i.e to measure testing progress, Mean time between arrival of error, density of errors, fixation of errors, failure rate, test execution Productivity, cost of defects, Test efficiency and efficiency checking and so on. But all these metrics are independent and have no relation with each other. There are some attributes of these metric which are very much homogenous and interrelated with interdisciplinary measurement. It is quit natural to inter-relate all these metrics into a single metric which should depict overall functionality of some of existing selected metrics. So the derived frame work modeled a new metric. This new metric covers the measurement of major quality attributes such as Correctness, Reliability, Efficiency, Usability and Maintainability. The derived new metric possess higher level of reliability, early predication of testing progress, process less cost of correctness, effectiveness in error exploration, efficient approach of testing, Compatibility of different existing metrics, less cost of corrective maintenance, high degree of flexibility and interoperability of different Tools.
