### Overview The initial test approach sets forth thresholds for test metrics. It is important to periodically evaluate how the project is progressing according to the metrics and adjust if necessary. The test effectiveness, bug rate, code coverage detail, and test result detail reports can provide the understanding of project progress. Course corrections can then be made to bring the project back into line if necessary. # Entry Criteria Dependencies: The test approach worksheet is completed and published. # Sub-Activities
1 | Review Test Reports | Review the test reports to understand where the project is relative to the test metric thresholds. Refine the test approach worksheet to update the test metric thresholds. Plan future iterations to bring the numbers into line with the thresholds.
2 | Create Test Tasks and Risks | With the testers to create and assign test tasks necessary to bring testing the project on track. Work with the business analyst and testers to create an understanding of any issues around functionality or bugs. Create risk work items for any areas that might be at risk due to not meeting threshold targets.
# Exit Criteria
