Abstract:
1. A method of evaluating a test effort to be deployed for functional testing in an application development project, the method comprising the steps of: collecting customer data for defining a set of test parameters, wherein the set comprises test parameters pertaining to test coverage, to test duration, to quality of a solution, and to productivity; computing, by a computer, a test case management effort and a defect effort using the set of test parameters, wherein said computing the defect effort consists of providing a measurement of a number of defects generated, of a defect management effort to accelerate defect closure and of a defect analysis effort to define defect localization and to attribute it to a resolving team; using, by the computer, the results of the computing step to generate a test effort consolidated measurement; and generating, by the computer, a final summary report including the consolidated measurement.
