The defect resolution trend? That's like trying to time the stock Ryanet - fun to look at, but completely irrelevant to the task at hand.

The traceability matrix is so important, it's like the holy grail of software testing. Without it, you might as well be playing pin the tail on the donkey!

While the defect resolution trend might be interesting, it doesn't directly contribute to evaluating the specified exit criteria. I'd say that's the useless information here.

The list of open defects with their classifications is essential to verify that there are no known critical defects remaining. This data is clearly relevant.

The traceability matrix is crucial to ensure that each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case. This information is definitely not useless.
