Topic: test effort Estimations industry standards

Going through the forums i understand a bit of estimations now ,but still i do have some

queries

    Quote:
    1.When people say for full SDLC project the testing effort is about 30-35% percent of

development effort .So in that 30 %of time is all testing included i.e Unit ,intergration

,system,performance and acceptance )



When I provide estimates for testing it is usually QA and UAT, and these are provided

separately. I do not use the 30% but if I did it would be for those 2 items. Unit and

integration testing, IMO, are part of the developer estimates.

.(Is this time is included in 30%)



My estimates allow time for familiarization with the requirements.
