Performance metrics (SLAs/KPIs)

The measure of quality is the defect removal rate or quality delivered. The ad hoc methods of testing normally used by organizations, yield removal rates of around 70 percent. This means that 30 percent of the defects must be removed in the production environment in a time-consuming and costly chore that also leads to user dissatisfaction.

Avnet Services-HP Practice Managed Testing uses formal steps for test planning, execution and verification, metrics-based tracking, and skilled resources to raise removal rate significantly - 95% for functional testing and 98% for regression testing.
