Testing Measurement :

Any measurement program can be divided into two parts. The first part is to collect data, and the second is to prepare metrics/chart and analyse them to get the valuable insight which might help in decision making. Information collected during any measurement program can help in:

• Finding the relation between data points,
• Correlating cause and effect,
• Input for future planning.

Normally, any metric program involves certain steps which are repeated over a period of time. It starts with identifying what to measure. After the purpose is known, data can be collected and converted in to the metrics. Based on the analysis of these metrics appropriate action can be taken, and if necessary metrics can be refined and measurement goals can be adjusted for the better.
