Very Helpful Article Written by Rex Black:

In the previous article in this series, I offered a number of general observations about metrics, illustrated with examples. We talked about the use of metrics to manage testing and quality with facts. We covered the proper development of metrics, top-down (objective-based) not bottom-up (tools-based). We looked at how to recognize a good set of metrics.
In the next three articles in the series, we’ll look at specific types of metrics. In this article, we will take up process metrics. Process metrics can help us understand the quality capability of the software engineering process as well as the testing capability of the software testing process. Understanding these capabilities is a pre-requisite to rational, fact-driven process improvement decisions. In this article, you’ll learn how to develop and understand good process metrics.
