Every software development company focuses on product quality assurance.It is a crucial and time-consuming activity in every software development project; therefore, it must be planned, and its execution must be monitored to have reliable software tested within the timelines of the Project.Software Cost/Effort Estimation is a vital activity in software development projects that allows Quality Assurance Managers to forecast, predict, and accurately quote the budget, schedule, and manpower effectively to save from overruns or underruns thereby attempting to optimize the crucial factors leading to project success.There are various Software Testing techniques that can be used for Estimation based on several factors.This paper discusses how 3-Point Test Estimation technique can be implemented to estimate Testing Projects by showing calculations using example of a sample project.In the sample Project, PERT and Triangular Distribution methods have been used for 3-Point Test Estimation to demonstrate their usage and show differences in estimates.
