Defect Escape Rate

Percentage

Measures the percentage of defects that escape into production, signifying the effectiveness of pre-release testing.

Formula

(Number of Defects Found in Production / Total Number of Defects) * 100

Example

If 10 out of 60 defects are found post-release, the escape rate is (10/60)*100 = 16.67%.
