Test Estimation

( Duration: 2 Days )

Estimation, particularly for the Software Testing phase in the Software Development life cycle, has its own set of challenges. Testing activities are different; project stake holders’ expectations from testing are different. Skill set of resources required are different, risks/challenges of execution are different from those faced during development. The aforesaid are some of the factors that influence estimation.

This Test Estimation training course is designed to create awareness on the Software Test Estimation process, common methods & techniques used and the challenges faced during test estimation keeping in mind the factors that influence estimation.

By attending Test Estimation workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Understand Software Estimation fundamentals
  • Understand important factors to be considered for Software Test Estimation
  • Understand common techniques used for Software Test Estimation
  • Build and use historical data
  • Face challenges of Software Test Estimation during planning, execution and tracking phases of the project

  • Understanding of Software Development Lifecycle and the testing phase in particular
  • Project experience of at least 1 year

This Test Estimation class is suitable for:

  • Test team members
  • Test Leads
  • Test Managers
