DRE: Defect Removal Efficiency
DRE is a measure to detect defects before delivery.It is calculated as a percentage of the defects identified and corrected internally with respect to the total defects in the complete project life cycle. Thus, DRE is the percentage of bugs elimiated by reviews, inspections, tests etc.
准确来说,DRE能够反映测试团队的效率以及产品的质量。数值越高,表示的是测试团队漏掉的bug很少,产品出现issue的问题就越低。
