Business Logic

Calculation Formula

1. Created Defects:

   • This includes all defects that are initially tagged to the sprint or are added to the sprint during its duration.

2. Closed Defects:

   • This includes the defects that are resolved and closed within the sprint out of the created count.

Trend

A higher trend in resolved defects indicates better quality and efficiency, as it shows the team is effectively closing the defects they raise.

Maturity Levels

Compare Resolved defects with Created Defects

M1: Velocity is 0-40%

M2: Velocity is 40-60%

M3: Velocity is 60-75%

M4: Velocity is 75-90%

M5: Velocity is >90%

Instance level thresholds

Target KPI Value denotes the bare minimum a project should maintain for a KPI.

Sample JQLs

project = "Your Project Name" AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes() AND resolved >= startOfDay(-7) AND resolved <= endOfDay()

Best Practice

Consistent Tracking

• Ensure that all defects are consistently tracked and updated in the system to maintain accurate data.

Regular Reviews

• Conduct regular reviews of the created and resolved defects to identify trends and areas for improvement.

Effective Communication

• Maintain open communication between the development and testing teams to ensure defects are addressed promptly.

Benefits of KPI

Efficiency Measurement

• Helps identify bottlenecks in the defect resolution process, allowing for targeted improvements

Quality Assurance

• A higher resolved trend indicates that defects are being addressed quickly, leading to higher overall product quality.

• Helps in reducing the backlog of unresolved defects, ensuring a cleaner and more stable codebase.

Customer Satisfaction

• Faster resolution of defects leads to fewer issues for end-users, enhancing customer satisfaction.

• Improves the reliability of the product by ensuring that defects are not left unresolved for long periods.
