Hi Govind,

It is very useful information. Thank you very much! Do you have experience about Quality Systems and if yes, what you think about setting a metrics.
Here it is very hard and tricky to choose such metrics that represent the exact situation and do not lead to misjudge results. For example, the number of bugs founded per 1000 rows code from some software build is not good idea. There may be small number, but crucial.
Thank you again for the source!

We use a combination of Severity and number of bugs at various phases as one of our metrics. It is very important to identify the appropriate metrics depending on nature of the product and its mission criticality.
One of approach is to use for metric identification is
