An Estimating Method for Software Testing Manpower

Estimating software testing complexity

Context: Complexity measures provide us some information about software artifacts. A measure of the difficulty of testing a piece of code could be very useful to take control about the test phase. Objective: The aim in this paper is the definition of a new measure of the difficulty for a computer to generate test cases, we call it Branch Coverage Expectation (BCE). We also analyze the most comm...

A Tool for Estimating Software Testing Requirements

We describe a prototype software tool that estimates the number of test cases required to apply particular testing strategies to program subroutines. The tool was used to evaluate the practicability of data ow testing of a commercial text analysis system which runs on microcomputers. Our system was developed from formal speci cations and is implemented in Prolog. It is easily adaptable and can ...

An Improved Algorithmic Method for Software Development Effort Estimation

Accurate estimating is one of the most important activities in the field of software project management. Different aspects of software projects must be estimated among which time and effort are of significant importance to efficient project planning. Due to complexity of software projects and lack of information at the early stages of project, reliable effort estimation is a challenging issue. ...
