Test Estimation Techniques

Estimating effort for test is one of the major and important tasks in SDLC. Correct estimation
helps in testing the Software with maximum coverage. This section describes some of the
techniques which can be useful during the estimating of effort for testing.

Functional Point Analysis

This method is based on the analysis of functional user requirements of the Software with
following categories:
●Outputs
●Inquiries
●Inputs
●Internal files
●External files

Test Point Analysis
This estimation process is used for function point analysis for Black box or Acceptance
testing. It is use the main elements of this method are: Size, Productivity, Strategy,
Interfacing, Complexity and Uniformity etc.

Mark-II method

It is estimation method used for analysis and measuring the estimation based on end user
functional view. The procedure for Mark-II method is:
●Determine the View Point
●Purpose and Type of Count
●Define the Boundary of Count
●Identify the Logical transactions
●Identify and Categorize Data Entity

Types
●Count the Input Data Element Types
●Count the Functional Size

Miscellaneous
You can use other popular estimation techniques like:
●Delphi Technique
●Analogy Based Estimation
●Test Case Enumeration Based Estimation
●Task (Activity) based Estimation and IFP UG method

Introduction to Apache JMeter

Apache JMeter is a great open source application with awesome testing abilities. Web Server is a platform which carries loads of numbers of applications and users, so that it is necessary to know that how does it works or performs means; how effective it is to handle simultaneous users or applications. For example; how the “Gmail” supporting server will perform when numbers of users simultaneous access the Gmail account – basically have to do performance testing using performance testing tools like JMeter, Loadrunner etc. To check the high performance of the application or server, do high performance testing using JMeter for exceptional results. Before understanding Overview of JMeter , let us have a look on three testing approach, Performance Test : This test provides the best possible performance of the system or application under a given configuration of infrastructure. Very fast, it also highlights the change need to be made before application goes into prod...

Testing Artifacts

TEST PLAN Fundamentals TEST PLAN DEFINITION A Software Test Plan is a document describing the testing scope and activities. It is the basis for formally testing any software/product in a project. ISTQB Definition test plan : A document describing the scope, approach, resources and schedule of intended test activities. It identifies amongst others test items, the features to be tested, the testing tasks, who will do each task, degree of tester independence, the test environment, the test design techniques and entry and exit criteria to be used, and the rationale for their choice,and any risks requiring contingency planning. It is a record of the test planning process. master test plan : A test plan that typically addresses multiple test levels. phase test plan : A test plan that typically addresses one test phase. TEST PLAN TYPES One can have the following types of test plans: Master Test Plan: A single high-level te...
