I think that can be taken further with comparsions about driving down the free way when it's more difficult to get a feel for your actual speed so it's good to keep checking on your speedo. Where as when you're heading down a twisty country lane you have more reference points (e.g. bends in the road) when you get a feel for your relative speed so you don't need to look at the speedo so much. It's the same in software testing. When everything is going smoothly it can be useful to check your test case completion rate. When you've got a software product which is in the early stages of development, and you're finding lots of bugs, it's pointless seeing how many test cases you're executing each day (most of your day is probably being taken up with analysing bugs. Great insight.
