Testing stats

[newgeekintown]

Hi guys,
Recently I was struck by a question "HOW MUCH AVERAGE TIME IS REQUIRED TO WRITE A TEST CASE OR TEST STEP FOR ANY APPLICATION. CAN WE HAVE ANY METRICS FOR IT.......

Please Help !

Thanks in advance.......

And while people are at it perhaps they could tell me how long this piece of string is? :)

So does that help me ?

if you think for a second it does . . . he means as long or short as it has to be for the size and complexity of project.

ya , but I really wanna know the parameters on which we measure it..

The best thing i can think of to answer your question is make a test plan prior to the implementation stage based on your designs. This way you will have a rough idea of the scale of the testing you'll be doing then just make an estimation of how long that will take. However designs may change over the life of a project.
