Metrics help in measuring the current state of an activity or process. They help us set benchmarks and targets. Measuring where you are currently helps you establish the how much further you need to go in order to achieve your goals. Test Managers must be able to define, track, report test progress metrics.

What Are Test Closure Activities? Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting
Test closure activities are those activities which are performed at the end of the testing process. These are usually performed after the product is delivered, like generating test report etc. According to test process, it is essential to guarantee that processes for delivering source information essential for evaluating exit criteria and reporting are available and effective.

What is Test Execution?
After a test object has been delivered and entry conditions for test execution are met, the test execution phase begins. Ideally, tests should be conducted as per the defined test cases. However, the Test Manager may allow the testers to perform additional tests for interesting and new behaviors observed during testing. [Read more…] about What is Test Execution?
What is Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)? Phases, Models, Interview Questions, SDLC Difference
Just like developers follow the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) likewise testers also follow the Software Testing Life Cycle which is called as STLC. It is the sequence of activities carried out by the testing team from the beginning of the project till the end of the project. A good software tester is expected to have good knowledge of the STLC lifecycle and its activities.
What are Test execution tools in software testing?
When people talk about the ‘testing tool’, it is mostly a test execution tool that they think of, basically a tool that can run tests. This type of tool is also known as a ‘test running tool’. Most tools of this type get started by capturing or recording manual tests; hence they are also known as ‘capture/playback’ tools, ‘capture/replay’ tools or ‘record/playback’ tools. It is similar as recording a television program, and playing it back. [Read more…] about What are Test execution tools in software testing?
