To give an example of a metric which certainly is useful, how about the
percentage of code actually tested? This was very revealing when it was
first introduced in various companies -- at one that I know, the
engineers discovered that their initial testing covered less than 10% of
the code, and "really thorough testing" tended to get about 60%
