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 Catego
