Abstract

Scrum methodology has originated from agile software develop-ment as an elixir to software projects which are behind the sche-dule or which are highly likely to have a problematic development phase. Also unlike any other agile methodology, scrum is adaptive in nature. This paper presents a metric that focuses on measuring test quality in scrum. As product quality and process quality is closely correlated, improved test quality can ensure high quality deliverable product. Proposed metric measures test quality of each sprint/ iteration of scrum based upon some factor ratings which can be used to get a comprehensive test quality overview of testing process over longer periods.
