    Calculate testing estimation

    What is test case point analysis?
    How the testing estimation will be calculated? Can any body tell how many hours needed to test search engine

    Re: Calculate testing estimation

    Test case point (TCP) analysis is an approach for doing an accurate estimation of functional testing projects. The approach emphasizes on key testing factors that determine the complexity of the entire testing cycle and gives a way of translating test creation efforts to test execution efforts. Test case points is a way of representing the efforts involved in testing projects.

    Different approach is followed for calculating the tcp in manual testing and automation testing.

    TCP analysis uses a 7-step process

    1. Identify use cases
    2. Identify test cases
    3. Determine TCP for test case generation
    4. Determine TCP for automation
    5. Determine TCP for manual execution
    6. Determine TCP for automated execution
    7. Determine total TCP test estimation is done by estimating the complexity of the test cases.

    The complexity of the test cases falls under three categories: (1) simple (2) medium and (3) complexity. The complexity factors are fixed based on the following categories:
    1. The number of steps
    2. Interface with other test cases
    3. Domain complexity
    4. Integration with other devices such
    5. Multi-lingual support
    6. Interface with external application
    7. Data driven
    8. Check points
    9. Interacting with UI components such as applets etc.,

    The timeline for creation and execution of the test cases depends on the time line fixed which contributes towards the test case point analysis.

    With this above you can calculate the time line needed for testing a search engine.

    Testing Estimation depends upon the lines of code.

    suppose 10LOC(LINES OF CODE)=1FP(Functiona point)

    then 1000LOC=100FP
    FP*3TECH(BVA,EP,Error guessing)=Test case
    100FP*3=300TC


    We can estimate 30Tc per a day
    that means 300TC/30=10DAYS for writing the test cases

    Testplan=1/2 of the test case prepartion that means=5 days

    Test case execution=1 1/2 of the test case prepartion=15 days

    Buffer time =20 days

    Hello all,

    i am a new member of your forum and joined today.

    can you please let me know that is there any difference between test case point analysis(tcp) and test point analysis ( tpa) ? if yes then what ?

    also please provide an example of tcp and tpa each .

    Regards
    rajmc
