What are you measuring? (Indicators)

Hi,

I would like to collate a list of what people are measuring for verification.

Since there are numerous things which can be measured, many things that should be measured, and a whole bunch of things that shouldn't never be measured, I would like to poll the community to see which things you (or your managers) are currently measuring, or measured on your previous project.

Once we compile a list I think it would be interesting to sort them by stage in the project and then do some informal voting to decide what the top 3-5 things to measure in each stage of the project.

So as a first step I'll jot down some of the things that I have seen measured without mentioning the stage of the project and if they are useful or not. Here they are:

Coverage Definition completed (for each feature & block) (Ex. 3 of 16 are complete)

Coverage review completed (for each feature & block)

% Functional Coverage achieved (including failed tests)

% Functional Coverage achieved (excluding failed tests)

% Line coverage

% Toggle Coverage

% Condition Coverage

Code review complete for each block

Checker code review complete

# of lines of RTL changed week to week

# of lines of TB changed week to week

# of rtl bugs

# of rtl showstopper/medium/low bugs

# of rtl bugs in each block

# of bugs in the testbench

# of days turnaround time for rtl bugs

# of assertions per lines of code

Please add your lists so we can start doing some analysis…
