Hi All,
I want to know, how usually testing project estimates happen?
Are there any specific tools available or is it fully depends on company internal process.

To some extent it does depend on what processes your company has in place but I will give a
few generic guidelines on what happens.
Estimates for testing are usually a subset of estimates for the complete project and may be
negotiable with the Project manager.
To develop estimates
- identify the tasks you will be doing
- you may have to guesstimate the expected number of test cases/scenarios - this is done
based on experience and historical data. Most estimates are required before you will know
this.
- using experience, historical data or a simple set of guidelines identify the estimated
hours for each set of tasks.
- the total for these is the estimate
On some projects you are required to re-estimate at different times when you have more
knowledge and details of the project.
