  2. Defect detection efficiency

  3. Test case execution cycle time

  4. Test case defect density

D Correct answer
Explanation

Phase containment, defect detection efficiency, and test case execution cycle time all measure aspects of test process capability. Test case defect density (D) is a product quality metric, not a process capability metric - it measures test thoroughness, not execution process performance.
