You have been asked to implement test automation for a project that is not meeting its deadlines. After further analysis you discover that the manual testers are not able to keep up with the new feature testing because the regression testing is taking 75% of their time. As a result, the new features are being released with many defects and customers are complaining about the quality.
Given this information, what metric SHOULD you be tracking to show the value of test automation for this project?
A. Percentage of code covered by the test automation.
B. Equivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests.
C. Number of defects found by test automation.
D. Percentage of builds accepted/rejected by the automated tests.
