• Give the test team and the test manager feedback on how the testing work is going, allowing opportunities to guide and improve the testing and the project.
• Provide the project team with visibility about the test results.
• Measure the status of the testing, test coverage and test items against the exit criteria to determine whether the test work is done.
• Gather data for use in estimating future test efforts.
