Hi,

Can anybody help me out with estimating the automation effort for a project? For example a test estimation technique for manual testing is Test case point analysis. Again is there such an estimation technique for Automation effort too?

Please suggest

Automation is a development type of activity. Plan it like you would a development project.

There are distinct phases and deliverables with each phase. Also, plan this work to be done

over multiple 'releases'. Start small and basic and build off of it. Small steps / small

wins is a good way to get it done. Get management buy-in to do it this way. You want to be

part of the 20% that succeed and not the 80% that fail.
