🧨 Defect Management Metrics Every QA Professional Should Know (Part 5)🧨

Posts / By

Most teams track defect counts. But mature QA organizations track how well the defect process works—because the biggest cost isn’t the bugs themselves, it’s the rework, noise, and backlog growth that slow delivery and reduce release confidence.In this article, we cover four defect management metrics that reveal process quality and delivery stability: Defect Reopen Rate …
