Uses and Misuses of Common Testing Metrics: Two Points of View at Two with Rex Black and Dawn Haynes

Test case metrics. Defect metrics. Requirements coverage metrics. Code coverage metrics. Metrics, metrics, metrics: yep, we got metrics in software testing, but do we use them properly?  Following up on his popular keynote and webinar, “Stupid Metrics Tricks and How to Avoid Them,” testing metrics advocate Rex Black decided to have a discussion about how we use and, all too often, misuse metrics in software with fellow testing professional Dawn Haynes, a testing metrics skeptic. There are sure to be some interesting disagreements as well as some unexpected agreements.  Join Dawn and Rex for a lively back-and-forth on the topic of metrics, followed by a Q&A opportunity.
