The Planned testing efforts can be calculated with 2 different techniques.

1. Function Point Analysis

2. Testing Point Analysis

These methods involves the calculation on the number of functional points present in the application.

I have not performed any analysis, but in our company we are following these methods.

After completion of test initialization and process finalisation by Project Manager  by Quality Analyst, Test Lead concentrates on Test Planning to define what to be tested, How to be tested and Who to be tested and When to be tested .  Test plan is an implementation of Test Methodology selection by Project Manager.  In general Test Lead Category people are developing overall plan and multiple test plans for every phase of testing due to different people, different techniques, different and different environment.

Team Formation, Identifying tactical risks, preparing system test plan and reveiving the testplan preparaion will be done by TestLead to estimate the completeness of that planned document.

I think testing effort is calculated based on Test case if test case also specify complexity . Further schedule / Risk  play major role in Testing effort

On what basis the planned testing efforts is calculated for the entire project?

For the entire project or for any release(build) testing effort is calculated based on the items for the project/release and number of test cases that are there and number of people who are going to execute those test cases and the number of testcases a person can execute per a day(man hours) are mainly considered.

Hi All,

As per my knowledge...

Testing efforts can be planned basing on the system complexity (How big and how much complex is), Number of resources, Number of test cases and project dead lines. Initially test plan will be prepared, which wil give the tenative plan for the whole testing process.

Thanks

This is The cal of test effort:-

Test efficiency= (number of tests required / the number of system errors)

 

Thanks

The testing effort is calculated depends on what type of testing methods ( functional or no functional) customer need to implement and functionality of the the project.. and also depends on team size.. like this on somany ways the testing effort will be calculated.

Test Effort is the estimation of the costs of (yet to come) tests. Two ways of calculating the cost are:

1) Functional Point Analysis (FPA) - This is an ISO recognized method to calculate the number of functions present in the system. Depending on the functions, required number of tests can be estimated. This method covers White-box testing estimation only.

2) Test Point Analysis (TPA) - This is another method to estimate black box testing costs ie the System Testing and UAT. TPA depends upon the size of the project, test strategy and productivity.

We follow TCP analysis to calculate the testing effort required for a change
request. Some organizations follow FTP Analysis.

Test Case Points (TCP) Test Case Point deals with the estimation of
the effort needed for testing projects. It is technology independent & supports
the need for estimating, project management & measuring quality. This approach
enables separate effort estimates for different phases of testing viz. Test Case
Generation, Automated Test Cases & Test Case Execution.

Function Test Points (FTP) It estimates size & efforts for testing
activities. Each test requirement is decomposed into possible atomic logical
functions & mapped them with complexity factor.

To estimate the testing effort for complete project following points need to be analyzed:
1) Number of Functional requirements to be tested.
2) Complexity of the Testing Task
3) Number of resources available for testing
4) Skill level available testing team.
5) Domain competency of the existing testing team
6) Number of Test Cases required.
7) External and Internal risks assocaited with testing.
8) Criticality of Testing in the project. Eg Aerospace projects requires more regress testing as  nay failure can result in loss of human life.
