Abstract:
Cost estimation for software testing is a complex process due to a great variety of testing strategies and factors to consider. In current practice, some of these are often overlooked. The subject has been well researched all the way back to the early stages of software development but always within the specific context of a single application. As a result, managers and researchers have created application-dependent solutions to the problem rather than general solutions. As a first step towards development of a general solution, we provide a summary of cost estimation for software testing using a taxonomy of testing strategies and factors.
