Purpose
This metric helps the team confirm that all new code is being tested. In iterative development, working software is
delivered in each iteration. New tests confirm that the new code is indeed, working.
Definition
For each iteration, count the number of new test cases created and the number of test cases executed.
Analysis
Monitor this metric to ensure that the difference between test cases and executed test cases remains at a minimal level
in each iteration. The number of test cases added and executed should rise as new working software is delivered in each
iteration.
Frequency and reporting
Monitor this metric at the end of each iteration.
