Test Automation Metrics That Matter
Metrics help you track how well your tests are doing. But don’t measure everything. Focus on what helps you improve.
Key metrics:
Pass/fail rate
Test duration
Number of skipped tests
Coverage (optional)
Track trends over time. If tests are failing more often, find out why. If test time is growing, consider parallel runs or cleanup.
Watch out for flaky tests. They pass sometimes and fail other times. They hurt trust in the test suite.
Use a dashboard to show metrics. Keep them visible to the team. If no one looks at the numbers, they don’t help.
