Test Effort Estimation

Testing is carried out primarily for unearthing any and all defects present in the system and to prevent a defective product reaching the customers. Secondarily, testing is also carried out to convince the customer that the product conforms to and fulfills the specifications and the functionality specified and agreed to.
Software Testing is recognized as a very important activity in software development. Of late, the importance of independent testing – that is testing by persons not involved in the development of software – is increasingly being recognized, so much so, software companies specialized only in software testing are established and are doing good business. Also significant is the fact that - as the complexity and size of the software increased multi-fold – so has the complexity of testing as well as the types of testing increased. As a result, there is a paradigm shift in the estimation of testing effort from being taken as a percentage of development effort, to independent size estimation and effort estimation.
As testing is so varied and diverse, it is not possible to directly jump into discussion about Test Effort Estimation without a brief discussion about the topic of Testing itself.
