A practical guide to understanding QA metrics, interpreting KPIs, and turning testing data into better development decisions.

Quality Assurance today goes far beyond finding bugs. QA teams help identify risks, guide production decisions, and support the delivery of stable, high-quality games.

Most teams already collect plenty of metrics. The real challenge is understanding what those numbers actually mean, and when they should influence development decisions.

This handbook breaks down the most widely used QA metrics and KPIs, explaining how to interpret them in real production contexts and how testing insights can support smarter decision-making.

Inside you'll learn:

  • How QA metrics support better risk assessment and production decisions
  • What the most common QA KPIs actually measure
  • How to interpret metrics without overcomplicating your process
  • When data should influence development decisions, and when it shouldn't
  • Practical ways to turn testing insights into actionable improvements
