A Review of Estimation Techniques to Reduce Testing Efforts in Software Development
Kirti Bareja, Abhishek Bhushan Singhal · 2015
In this growing world, technologies and methodologies are very vast and are growing at faster pace. Industries and customers prefer to work on high quality product in a very short time and with more efficiency. Customers prefer project that are not prone to faults and work effectively. In order to develop any project, several phases are involved in their development, but approximately half of the development time is spent in testing of the developed project. So, our main concern in this paper is estimation of testing efforts and how these efforts can be reduced so that good project is available in the market in lesser time as lot of development time is spent in testing. Estimation is the approximation of efforts spent in testing, if approximate value is much higher than it results in over estimation and if it is much lower than it results in under estimation. There are various different ways through which we can estimate the testing efforts. This paper presents the study on various estimation techniques to reduce testing efforts.
