Smart mechanism to evaluate performance of test engineers

A system comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured:
• to obtain, by a resource evaluation system configured to evaluate performance of test engineers, defect data obtained in response to executing software on a plurality of tester systems, wherein the defect data comprises defect priorities associated with defects detected by individual engineers;
• to determine, by the resource evaluation system, a performance weighted metric associated with a defect detection resource and the defect data;
• to use the performance weighted metric, determining a defect scope delta percentage associated with the defect detection resource and the defect data;
• and
• to determine a defect detection resource score based on the defect scope delta percentage, wherein the defect detection resource score evaluates individual test engineer performance, wherein the performance comprises productivity of the test engineer and the test engineer's skill breadth and depth of knowledge.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device:

• to obtain, by a resource evaluation system configured to evaluate performance of test engineers, defect data obtained in response to executing software on a plurality of tester systems, wherein the defect data comprises defect priorities associated with defects detected by individual engineers;
• to determine, by the resource evaluation system, a performance weighted metric associated with a defect detection resource and the defect data;
• to use the performance weighted metric, determining a defect scope delta percentage associated with the defect detection resource and the defect data;
• and
• to determine a defect detection resource score based on the defect scope delta percentage, wherein the defect detection resource score evaluates individual test engineer performance, wherein the performance comprises productivity of the test engineer and the test engineer's skill breadth and depth of knowledge.
