PREDICTING TEST EFFORT ESTIMATION: A MODEL BASED UPON SOFTWARE TESTING MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Monika Grover* and Pradeep Kumar Bhatia
ABSTRACT
Software testing is the most important phase of the Software Development Life Cycle. On most software projects testing activities consume at least 40 percent of the project effort. Software testing is essential to ensure software quality. Schedule is always running tight during the software system development, thereafter reducing efforts of Performing software testing management. In such a situation, improving software quality becomes an impossible mission. It is our belief that software industry needs new approaches to promote software testing management. This paper discussed the V-model that already existed, further proposes a improved V model that consider together test stages and maintenance test stages. This model makes the software testing pass through the each stage of software development cycle. Test Effort Estimation is an important activity in software development because on the basis of effort cost and time required for testing can be calculated. Another feature of present paper to the Estimation of Testing Effort using estimate the effort required to test a software project, based on the number of use cases and the other features of object-orientation used in software development.
