BUILDING A CUSTOMER QUALITY DASHBOARD
John Ruberto VP of Quality Engineering – Clover, a First Data Company
First, A story
9.86
What is 9.86?
Metric First Negative Link in Google Source Lines of Code 3 Cyclomatic Complexity 19 Function Points 11 Code Coverage 6 Defect Removal Efficiency 6 Defect Density 9 Bug Count 15Principles for metrics
- Related to our goals
- Leading vs lagging indicators
- Process metrics vs outcome metrics
- Use the right technology to display
Related to our goals
Use the right technology to collect & display
Provides actionable insights
Goal-Questions-Metric
- GQM
- Victor Basili
- Align on a set of goals
- Ask questions about those goals
- Design & collect metrics to answer the questions
Why
- Setting goals, in alignment with the wider organization, gains acceptance
- Focus on what’s most important to your stakeholders
- Provide “line of sight” from your metrics to your goals
- Build comprehensive view of your goals.
Example - Context
- Software as a service application
- > 500K active users
- Paying monthly subscription
Example
- Goal: Deliver better quality to our customers
- Questions:
- How many defects do our customers report?
- How are we trending on customer reported defects?
- How quickly to we fix the defects?
- What are the top causes of these defects?
- Why aren’t we catching these bugs before release?
Example –Delivered Quality
0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% RCA Pareto 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% Reasons for EscapeCharacteristics to think about
- Process Metrics vs Outcomes
- LOC / Review hour vs Defects found per review
- Leading Indicators vs Lagging Indicators
- Code coverage vs delivered quality
- Median vs Average (Better yet: percentile)
- Median page load vs Average page load
- % fixes within SLA vs Average Age
- 2012 average income in San Mateo County
Principles in using metrics
- Direct measures instead of derived
- “quality score”
- Apdex
- Actionable
- Total crashes vs crash code pareto
- Live data is best data
- No powerpoint…
Fallacies of Metrics - Gamification
- Goal: Improve Testing Efficiency
- Metric: Testing Efficiency: (fixed bugs / total submitted)
Fallacies of Metrics – Confirmation Bias
- Incoming bug rate improved dramatically – our quality must be outstanding!

- Don’t measure things that matter
- Easily manipulated
- But, make us feel good
Keeping the gains
- Process Wrapper
- Monitor & regulate
- Automatic trigger
- Wide distribution
