A Test metric is a standard means of measuring some attribute of the software testing process.  They establish test progress against the test schedule and may be an indicator of future results.  Metrics are produced in two forms – base and derived metrics.

Examples of base metrics:
# New test cases
# Regression test cases
# Test cases run
# Test cases not run
# Passes
# Fails
# Test cases under investigation
# Test cases blocked

Examples of derived metrics:
% Test cases complete
% Test cases passed
% Test cases failed
% Test cases blocked
% Test defects corrected
