This document discusses measuring quality for JIRA Cloud releases. It begins with principles for metrics, including starting with questions to answer, collecting metrics to drive decisions rather than as an end, and being willing to discard metrics. It then discusses context around JIRA Cloud and challenges in measuring its quality. Specific metrics proposed include number of incidents and support cases per release. The document advocates learning from measurements by focusing on prevention initiatives rather than just root causes. It emphasizes continuous improvement through metrics.

- 25. My story BTCYS
- 27. Start with questions you need answers for • What is the quality of our releases to JIRA Cloud? (Functional + Perceived by customers) • What bugs are we letting through? • What is their severity? • What are the root causes of those bugs? • How can we prevent them? Principles in action
- 28. • Goal: Being able to provide facts about quality of releases to JIRA Cloud • Goal: Being able to take further decisions Collecting metric is not the goal Principles in action Identification Metrics!
- 29. Metrics/Measures Number of incidents per each release Average number of Support Cases per incident for each release Metric: Metric: Incident = Every failure causing more than 4 Support Cases
- 30. Customer feedback Support JIRA instance Official bugtracker BUG-12345SUPPORT-7893 Customer Problem report Problem report Incident instance !!! Incident! Bug report Incident management process DEV, SOPS
- 31. Why? • Why incidents? • Why based on Support Cases?
- 32. Measurement system - part 1 Support JIRA instance Official bugtrackerIncident instance DB Get all links and store number of Support Cases for every bug
- 33. Measurement system - part 2 Support JIRA instance Official bugtrackerIncident instance DB Get all links and store number of Support Cases for every bug Internal JIRA instance Defect analysis scripts
- 34. Measurement system - part 2 Get all issues reported in bug tracker yesterday Check support cases number in DB More than 2 support cases? Create or update issue in internal JIRA Repeat process for issues created 3, 7 and 14 days ago X
- 37. • Some incidents do not have Support Cases • Is not normalised against number of customers • Difficulty in driving severity imagination • Influenced by time of fixing (good or bad?) Metrics will not be perfect! Principles in action
- 38. Do we have problem with quality? It is less than 0.2 % of customers You cannot prevent all bugs It is significant number Even 1 Support Case is too much 0.2% reported, how many could not work?
- 40. • Improve Post Incident Review process • Create Tech Debt team • Kick off several initiatives/projects for better prevention Drive the decisions Principles in action • Improve Post Incident Review process
- 41. • Ticket • Severity • Document Owner • Report Status • Executive Summary • Do we know the root cause? • Has the root cause been mitigated? • Root Cause • Outage Description • Was this a repeat of a previous incident? • Affected users • Start Date/Time (UTC) • End Date/Time (UTC) • Duration • Time to Detection • Time to Recovery • What went well? PIR • What went well? • What could have gone better? • Where we got Lucky? • Priority actions to fix root cause(s) • Actions to improve service quality and/ or mitigate risk • Names of people involved • Approvers
- 42. PIR Improvements • Focus on prevention action items • Created in team’s backlogs • Measurable and Trackable • SLA for development teams to fix those issues
- 43. Action Items • Do not fix the root cause only • Try to prevent whole class of issues
- 44. Projects/initiatives for better prevention • Knowledge sharing tool • Better integration testing on system level • JS errors on WD tests • Test Coverage week • …
- 45. So what’s next?
- 46. Improvement metrics • % of completed action items • Number of incidents and support cases per release • Number of incidents and support cases per released change
- 47. Number of incidents and support cases per released change • LOC or tasks (issues)?
- 48. There is more to measuring quality• Customer value for new features - analytics, feature specific • Usability • Performance • Availability • Security
- 49. Takeaways
- 50. Metrics’ principles • Start with questions you need answers for • Collecting metric is not the goal • Buy in for goals and metrics • Metrics will not be perfect • Drive the decisions • Do not be afraid to throw them away
- 51. Measurement system • You need facts • Not easy to build but this is not an excuse • Use your opportunities • Automate
- 52. Learning from defects • Focus on follow-up items not descriptions • Do not fix the root cause only, try to prevent classes of issues • Stating: We need to be better in … next time - will not work
- 53. QA Role • Yes, it belongs to you! • Drive • Do not be afraid to question existing metrics
- 54. Thank you !
