ISTQB_Managing the Product_2.1 Test Metrics_TM-2.1.1 (K2) Give examples of metrics to achieve the test objectives

 


Metric Used in Test Monitoring & Control Used in Test Completion Purpose
Requirements coverage Checks how well requirements are covered by tests
Product risk coverage Ensures risk areas are tested
Code coverage Measures test thoroughness at code level
Actual vs. planned estimation (hours) Tracks testing effort vs. plan
% of executed test cases by status Measures test execution progress
Accumulated resolved vs. total defects Tracks defect fixing progress
Actual vs. planned automated test cases
 ❌                                                          
Measures automation coverage progress
Actual vs. planned cost Tracks cost deviations






1. (K3) During test execution, your team reports that 85% of test cases are executed and 45% passed. Which metric category is this?

4. (K2) Which of the following would be considered both a monitoring and a completion metric?

  • A. Code coverage

  • B. Actual cost

  • C. Requirements coverage

  • D. Planned vs. actual hours
    Answer: C


5. (K3) Your test summary report shows that 92% of the planned tests were executed, 81% passed, and all critical defects were fixed. What can be concluded?

  • A. The testing process was poorly planned

  • B. Test objectives are likely met

  • C. More defect data is needed

  • D. The test team missed key deadlines
    Answer: B

Q1. (K2) Which of the following is a product metric?

  • A. Defect detection percentage

  • B. Requirements coverage

  • C. Code coverage

  • D. Actual vs. planned testing hours
    Answer: C


Q2. (K3) If the team has resolved 20 out of 30 defects by the end of system testing, which metric applies?

  • A. Product risk coverage

  • B. Defect removal efficiency

  • C. Accumulated number of resolved vs. total defects

  • D. Code complexity metric
    Answer: C


Q3. (K2) What is the primary purpose of defining test metrics during test planning?

  • A. To estimate test costs

  • B. To assign test cases

  • C. To measure test objectives later

  • D. To define process KPIs
    Answer: C


Q4. (K4) You are reviewing the test closure report and find the actual test cost exceeded planned cost by 20%. What should be your next step?

  • A. Ignore as testing is complete

  • B. File a defect report

  • C. Review estimation and cost control for future improvements

  • D. Increase test coverage
    Answer: C


Q5. (K3) Which metric would best help measure the effectiveness of your test automation efforts?

  • A. Code coverage

  • B. Actual vs. planned automated test cases

  • C. % Passed test cases

  • D. Defect leakage
    Answer: B


Q6. (K2) What type of metric is “product risk coverage”?

  • A. Project metric

  • B. Product metric

  • C. Process metric

  • D. Planning metric
    Answer: A


Q7. (K3) Why is “requirements coverage” used both in test monitoring and test completion?

  • A. Because it is related to resource usage

  • B. It helps in defining roles

  • C. It tracks ongoing coverage and final completeness

  • D. It only applies in agile contexts
    Answer: C


Q8. (K2) Which of these metrics is typically not used in test completion?

  • A. Product risk coverage

  • B. Requirements coverage

  • C. Actual vs. planned effort

  • D. Test case status %
    Answer: C


Q9. (K3) What would be a key metric to track if stakeholders are concerned about budget overruns?

  • A. Actual vs. planned estimation

  • B. Actual vs. planned cost

  • C. Code coverage

  • D. Product risk coverage
    Answer: B


Q10. (K3) What would indicate testing is complete from a metric perspective?

  • A. All tests have passed

  • B. All metrics show 100%

  • C. Test exit criteria (defined via metrics) have been met

  • D. All defects are closed
    Answer: C
