Quality Goals

Quality goals (exit criteria) are a definable set of testing metrics that the project must meet in order for the quality to be considered acceptable. Each Silk Central project can contain one or more quality goals. Silk Central uses quality goals as a primary means to implement risk based testing, allowing you to plan, to test, and to report on only the most important tests in a given testing cycle.

In Silk Central, a quality goal is comprised of the following two elements:

• A requirement or test.
• One of the following:
  • A custom attribute or property of type List with a corresponding percentage value.
  • One of the following default requirement properties: Priority, Reviewed, or Risk with a corresponding percentage value.
