Factors Affecting Test Effort
1.Project Size and Complexity
- Larger or more complex systems require more extensive testing.
2.Quality of Requirements
- Poorly defined requirements increase testing effort due to ambiguities and rework.
3.Test Scope
- A broader test scope leads to higher effort.
4.Tools and Automation
- Automation reduces manual effort in execution but requires upfront investment in creating scripts.
5.Team Skills
- Skilled testers may reduce test effort through efficient practices.
6.Test Environment
- Challenges in setting up or maintaining the test environment increase effort.
7.Defect Density
- High defect rates lead to increased retesting and debugging efforts.
