Claim:
1. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising: computer code for determining, by a computer system, a first duration of time over which at least one software testing environment was not available for at least one first software testing project; computer code for calculating, by the computer system, at least one wasted resource amount associated with the at least one first software testing project, the at least one wasted resource amount resulting from the at least one software testing environment not being available during the first duration of time; computer code for automatically calculating, by the computer system, a potential saving in software testing effort associated with at least one second software testing project, based, at least partially, on the determined first duration of time and the calculated at least one wasted resource amount, the potential saving being achievable by making the at least one software testing environment available for the at least one second software testing project; computer code for identifying, by the computer system, a cause of the at least one wasted resource amount; computer code for eliminating or reducing, by the computer system, the identified cause of the at least one wasted resource amount; computer code for verifying, by the computer system, an actual saving in the software testing effort associated with an execution the at least one second software testing project using the at least one software testing environment, after eliminating or reducing the identified cause of the at least one wasted resource amount.
