Quality Metrics
<default_to_action> When measuring quality or building dashboards:
- MEASURE outcomes (bug escape rate, MTTD) not activities (test count)
- FOCUS on DORA metrics: Deployment frequency, Lead time, MTTD, MTTR, Change failure rate
- AVOID vanity metrics: 100% coverage means nothing if tests don't catch bugs
- SET thresholds that drive behavior (quality gates block bad code)
- TREND over time: Direction matters more than absolute numbers
Quick Metric Selection:
- Speed: Deployment frequency, lead time for changes
- Stability: Change failure rate, MTTR
- Quality: Bug escape rate, defect density, test effectiveness
- Process: Code review time, flaky test rate
Critical Success Factors:
- Metrics without action are theater
- What you measure is what you optimize
