  • Automated: ✅ Yes

How "Time Consumption" Is Calculated — QA Specific

RuleDetailsExample
Working-day definition1 business day = 8 weekday hours. A "2 d" estimate therefore equals 16 h."2 d" on the ticket -> 16 h budget
Measured durationElapsed time is counted only while the task is "In Progress," summing weekday work-hours.Started Tue 09:00, finished Wed 17:00 -> 16 h
QA Task TrackingTime is tracked specifically for QA testing activities including test case execution, bug verification, and UAT support.QA testing phase: 24h estimated, 30h actual -> 125% consumption
Weekend handlingSaturdays & Sundays are ignored when measuring schedule overruns.Due Fri, closed Mon -> overrun = 1 business day (8 h), not 3 calendar days

  • Automated: ✅ Yes

How "Defect Density" Is Calculated — Module Mapping

When an issue is reported in Jira, the "Module" field must be filled in.

This Module value will be used to search and match relevant TFS tasks (based on the module field) that were completed for QA in the past 6 months.

This mapping helps determine the number of defects per module relative to the QA effort.

RuleDetails
Module MappingJira defect module field is matched against TFS task modules to identify QA scope
Time WindowOnly TFS tasks completed in the past 6 months are considered for defect density calculation
CalculationDefect Density = Number of defects in module in production QA'ed by particular resource in TFS
Defect TypesProduction environments
