Which additional metric would provide the most useful insight into the efficiency of their regression testing process?

   • ATotal lines of code in the application
   • BNumber of testers on the team
   • CPercentage of test cases automated

   An agile team has been tracking the number of defects found in production and the number found during testing. They notice that the defect detection percentage (DDP) has been consistently high (above 90%), but the number of production defects has increased over the last three releases. What is the most likely explanation for this apparent contradiction?

   • AThe team is finding more defects during testing, which is a positive sign, but the increase in production defects is unrelated
   • BThe testing process has become less effective, but the DDP metric is not sensitive to this change
   • CThe total number of defects has increased, so even with a high DDP, the absolute number of escaped defects has increased
   • DThe team is not tracking all defects, so the DDP is inaccurate
