Which of the following is NOT a factor on which test estimation is dependent upon?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Test estimation is the process of predicting the effort, time, and resources required for testing a software system. Test estimation depends on several factors that influence the scope, complexity, and quality of testing. Some of these factors are:

Characteristics of the product: This factor indicates how difficult or challenging it is to test the software system based on its size, functionality, reliability, usability, performance, security, etc.

Characteristics of the development process: This factor indicates how well or poorly the software system is developed based on the development methodology, standards, tools, techniques, etc.

Characteristics of the test process: This factor indicates how effective or efficient the testing process is based on the test strategy, plan, design, execution, evaluation, etc.

Characteristics of the test team: This factor indicates how skilled or experienced the test team is based on their knowledge, competence, motivation, communication, collaboration, etc.

The outcome of testing of previous test cycle is not a factor on which test estimation is dependent upon because it does not affect the effort, time, or resources required for testing the current test cycle. Rather, it is an outcome or consequence of test estimation that can provide feedback and lessons learned for improving future test estimations. You can find more information about test estimation inSoftware Testing Foundations: A Study Guide for the Certified Tester Exam, Chapter 22.

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser, isn't it? I'm just going to close my eyes and pick one at random. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be the right answer!

I'm sorry, but I have to go with C. Characteristics of the development process. That just seems like the most obvious factor that would influence test estimation. Unless, of course, the answer is 'None of the above' and the test writer is just trying to mess with us.

But don't you think the characteristics of the development process also play a role?

I'm going with B. The outcome of testing from previous cycles is the only one that doesn't seem directly related to test estimation. Although, I do wonder if the correct answer is 'All of the above' and the question is just trying to trick us.

Wait, isn't the answer D? Characteristics of the product? I mean, how can you estimate testing without knowing the product you're testing?
