Question
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?
Options
- APercentage of code covered by the test automation.
- BEquivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests.
- CNumber of defects found by test automation.
- DPercentage of builds accepted/rejected by the automated tests.

Explanation
Equivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests quantifies how much manual effort is being saved through automation. In this scenario, where regression testing consumes 75% of manual testers' time, this metric directly demonstrates the value of automation in freeing up resources to focus on new feature testing, ultimately improving release quality.
