For each project, I am asked for time estimates for testing a particular function or 'story'. How do you come up with such a number? I know approximately how long it takes to test it. I know approximately how long it will take to regression and stress test it.

How do you factor in the 'out of QA time' while developers are making the fix? Some are fixed after one cycle. How do you factor in the 'multiple return bugs' that go through the cycle 4, 5 and 6 times before you can close it? I want to be as accurate as I can, but if my times are affected by others, I have no idea how I can!
