A test matrix is simply a spreadsheet that suggests test and captures test results by laying them out in the form of a table. A test matrix can be used for a number of purposes:

  • to record a consistent set of tests;
  • to document a desired level of test coverage based on an intersection of two criteria and, when filled out, to be used as evidence that the desired amount of testing has been done;
  • as a quick visual indication of how much testing has been done on those criteria;
  • to help to identify and refine the specific environments in which a defect occurs;
  • when it is completely filled out, as a checklist to assure that some exhaustive task has been completed.

It is a document that describes the percentile of coverage against the requirements, test cases and defects. For eg. if we are preparing metrix report for requirements then the document should contain the total number of requirements against the requirements that are yet to be developed in software.

If we are preparing a metrix report against the test cases then the document should contain the total number of test cases with the executed test cases and the test cases that are yet to be executed.

If we are preparing matrix report against the defects then the document should contain the total number of defects found against the fixed defects, unresolved defect and regression defects.
