You can use the change of values as an "approximate" measurement of potential issues and red flags.<br /><br />In your example, recording the number of tests executed each test run, and graphing and alerting on a -ve delta of significance. While a database backup, execution time is generally red flag, for testing, it's much harder with changing H/W specs, and software improvements.<br /><br />Still, this is a good lesson to the many who do little to no testing at all, why dedicated test suites (with dedicated test environments and dedicated test data) is so important.<br /><br />Ronald Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170615042077930093noreply@blogger.com
