QA pass rate
QA pass rate is the share of evaluated outputs that satisfy the defined quality criteria on a specified review pass. It is calculated by dividing the number of passing outputs by the number evaluated, using the same scope, rules, and decision point.
Context
Understand the term in production
The metric is only meaningful when its denominator and review conditions are clear. A first-pass rate, a post-retry rate, and a final approval rate answer different questions, while stricter or looser criteria can change the result.
How it works
Follow the production logic
- 01
Fix the measurement scope
Name the batch, time period, output type, review pass, and criteria being measured.
- 02
Count consistent decisions
Use passing and evaluated outputs from the same stage without silently excluding failures.
- 03
Read the rate with context
Compare like-for-like runs and inspect failure reasons before using the metric to change production.
