Mean time to detect (MTTD)

What is mean time to detect (MTTD)?

Mean time to detect (MTTD), in quality assurance, is a metric used in software quality and incident management to measure the average time it takes to identify a defect, failure, or security issue after it occurs. A lower MTTD indicates faster detection, which is critical for minimizing downtime and improving system reliability.
