SHEET NAME: ESTIMATION - Manual Testing Worksheet

SHEET TYPE: Worsheet

SHEET WORKINGS: This sheet is template for calculating estimation. It lists all the TDLC activities that you would normally perform while doing a manual testing project. Document estimates
only on the acitivities that apply for the project.

ESTIMATION - Manual Testing Worksheet

PROJECT/SPRF# and NAME:
ESTIMATOR:
Estimates Based upon:
DATE of estimate mm/dd/yyyy
1. Do estimates EFFORT = (((total size * time per unit size) * complexity) * staff skill level) * rework.

Rework
Time per Complexity Staff Skill Level
High = 1.5 TOTAL
TDLC Activity Unit Size Total # of High = 1.75 Little Experience = 2
ID* Unit of Size Medium = 1.25 Effort in Comments
(General Activities - estimate only which apply to the project ) in person Size Units Medium = 1.25 Some Experience = 1.5
Low = 1.1 Hours (PH)
hours Low = 1 Extensive Experience= 1
No Rework = 1.0
