چکیده
In this paper, we present the main goals, questions and hypotheses of our research related to test execution effort estimation. Here, we introduce a model that we developed for estimating test execution effort based on the test characteristics and risk factors. In addition, we presented the planning of empirical studies for this model. These studies have the objective of configuring, calibrating and validating the model using expert judgment and statistical methods. Finally, we defined metrics to be collected and the methods to analyze them in order to answer our research

Sizing System Tests for Estimating Test Execution Effort
In our researches, we developed a method to size tests based on their specifications. This measure, called execution points, can be used as input for test execution effort estimation models. Here, we present our method for sizing tests that is based on test specifications written in natural language. We also presents the main functionalities of a tool developed for supporting our measurement me...
متن کاملA New Empirical Model to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
We can say a software project is successful when it is delivered on time, within the budget and maintaining the required quality. However, nowadays software cost estimation is a critical issue for the advance software industry. As the modern software’s behaves dynamically so estimation of the effort and cost is significantly difficult. Since last 30 years, more than 20 models are already develo...
متن کاملEstimating Manual Test Execution Effort and Capacity Based on Execution Points
In some domains, such as the mobile application domain, functional tests may not be feasible to automate due to limited test automation technology (multimedia support, etc.) or high cost to port automated tests for different phone models and operating systems. In this context, test teams should be able to estimate the effort required to manually execute tests on schedule. Although several effor...
متن کاملTest Execution Effort and Capacity Estimation
A usual activity performed to ensure software reliability is functional testing, where organizations can allocate teams exclusively for testing. With tight schedules and limited resources, test managers shall be able to estimate the effort required to execute the test suites requested by their clients (usually development teams), and also to estimate its capacity for attending the requests. Sev...
متن کاملAutomated Test Execution Effort Estimation Based on Functional Test Specifications
A usual activity performed to ensure quality is software testing. Although important, testing is an expensive activity. For that reason, test teams should be able to estimate the required effort to perform their test activities on the schedule and to request more resources or negotiate deadlines when necessary. This is even more important when regarding regression testing, where the execution o...
