Going through the forums i understand a bit of estimations now ,but still i do have some queries
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 )
2.How to estimate time for Knowledge transfer/transition or requirement familiarization .(Is this time is included in 30%)
3.Lastly
i want to know the industry standards for the %time required for unit
testing ,integration testing ,functional testing ,performance testing
within that 30% time
4. Also the % time required for the activites like test case writing,execution,rework and review

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.

My estimates allow time for familiarization with the requirements.
