We use defect density ratings (industry is 1/1000 lines of code written) and we report on our defect rate. We track this per team and overall. We also track SLA remediation of defects by risk rating (high/medium/low) and report on trends. We also track defect based on internally versus vendor developed. We have been thinking of using defect impact to release cycle timing, but it seems our SLAs have that covered.

Here are some metrics tracked by our software team to measure defects and the quality of deliverables:
• Number of defects in the release
• Defect escape rate between development to staging and staging to production
• Defect severity rate
• Defect resolution time, indicating how many releases have the same defect

We are trying to move away from Atlantis for a more robust and scalable TACOS solution for our Terraform codebase. Looking for any success and failure stories, vendor recommendations, and lessons learnt in adoption.

We are looking at a likely re-deployment of Dynamics CRM due to an upcoming Sales and business unit organizational re-alignment. While Gartner typically has content on vendors in a particular technology space, I was hoping to potentially find some integration/migration partner recommendations. We have 7 years of "history" in our existing Dynamics deployment. We expect the roles and security  to change significantly. We also anticipate the potential of adding a new "enterprise" customer identifier as some current customers are currently duplicated across subsidiary companies. I wanted to bypass personally reviewing the 135 peer reviews. Any real-life experiences to share?
