Abstract:
1. A method in a data processing system of determining a relative measure of build quality for a built product, said method comprising the steps of: a) identifying one or more first sets of test case results, each said first set of test case results being derived from the application of a set of test cases to a series of builds of a built product; b) determining a test quality coefficient for each said test case based on the respective test results from said first set of test case results; c) identifying a second set of test case results derived from the application of one or more of said test cases to a further build of said built product; d) applying each said test quality coefficient to each corresponding said test case result from said second set; and e) a processor for use in calculating the mean of said second set of test case results as qualified by their corresponding test quality coefficient, said mean providing a user a relative measure of the build quality of the further build of said built product.
