Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for evaluating testing of a software system in a testing project in which the testing is performed on software code in a plurality of components of the software system. Multi-dimensional data related to the testing project, including results of the testing, are automatically collected. Values for metrics related to a quality of testing effort that components have undergone in the testing project are developed. In one embodiment, the measure is based on a measure of amount of software code of the plurality of components that has been tested during the testing project. Projected testing results at completion of the testing are developed by forecasting projected values of at least one metric at completion of the testing project.
