QA -Test estimation

• Resources:  Resources are required to carry out any project tasks. They can be people, equipment, facilities, funding, or anything else capable of definition required for the completion of a project activity.
• Times : Time is the most valuable resource in a project. Every project has a  deadline to delivery.
• Human Skills : Human skills mean the knowledge and the experience of the Team members. They affect to your estimation. For example, a team, whose members have low testing skills, will take more time to finish the project than the one which has high testing skills.
• Cost: Cost is the project budget. Generally speaking, it means how much money it takes to finish the project

What QA process do you use in your project and why?

A sample answer could be this way: Currently, we follow a mix of both traditional and Agile projects. The way we go about this is: we handle releases in short sprints but within the sprints, we would still create a test plan, test scenarios but not test cases and report the defects as we would in the waterfall model. To track progress we use a scrum board and for defects we use Bugzilla tool. Even though our sprints are short, we make sure that all reviews, reports and metrics happen on time.

QA-What were your roles and responsibilities and how was your time divided between tasks in a project?

Normally a test lead works on the project just the way the other team members do. Only 10 %( industry standard, might differ from project to project) of the time is spent on coordination activities.

You can further break this down into saying:

• 50%- Testing activities- depending on the stage the project is in, this might be test planning, design or execution
• 20%- review
• 10%- coordination
• 20%- client communication and delivery management
