Test Effort Estimator
Purpose
This skill provides a systematic approach to estimate test effort based on product requirements. It analyzes requirements, breaks them down into testable items, estimates effort for each phase (case design, first run, retest, regression), and generates an Excel report.
When to Use
Use this skill when users provide product requirements and need:
- Test effort estimation for new features
- Resource planning for testing phases
- Detailed breakdown of testing activities
- Excel export of effort estimates
How to Use
Step 1: Analyze Requirements
Read and understand the provided product requirements. Identify:
- Functional modules and features
- User stories and test scenarios
- Complexity levels of different features
Step 2: Break Down Test Items
For each requirement, identify test items:
- Test entry points and navigation
- Data display and validation
- User interactions and workflows
- System operations and state changes
Step 3: Estimate Effort
Apply complexity-based estimation standards:
Simple Features (0.20-0.30 person-days for design):
- Single function, clear logic
- Few operation steps, simple data preparation
- Examples: list display, simple navigation
Medium Features (0.35-0.40 person-days for design):
- Multiple sub-functions, moderate complexity
- Requires test data preparation
- Examples: data filtering, user management
Complex Features (0.50 person-days for design):
- Complex business logic, multiple interaction paths
- Requires diverse test data, strong dependencies
- Examples: online/offline binding, batch operations
Time Calculation Formulas:
- Case Design: Simple 0.20-0.30, Medium 0.35-0.40, Complex 0.50
- First Run: Simple 0.15-0.20, Medium 0.25-0.30, Complex 0.30-0.40
- Retest: 33%-67% of first run, round to 0.10 minimum
- Regression: 48%-67% of first run, round to two decimals
Step 4: Generate Excel Report
Use the bundled script scripts/generate_excel.py to create the Excel report with:
- Requirement title
- Requirement story/description
- Case design time
- First run time
- Retest time
- Regression time
- Estimation rationale
Constraints
- All time values must be >= 0.10 person-days
- All time values must be rounded to two decimals
- Total estimation error should be within 0.5 person-days of actual values
- Minimum unit is 0.01 person-days
