“…The frequency of changes committed against software also influences the cost estimation [7], [12]. As defects can be present from various sources such as requirement, design, code [13], documents or bad fix, the effort in handling those defects is different depending on the necessity of the changes. More cost is expected to occur if the tests contain a high level of change frequency.…”

“…The experience of the tester who is doing the tasks is important [11]. The experience can be delineated in two perspectives which are to have domain application knowledge [7], [13], [22] and testing knowledge [7], [13]. For domain application knowledge, the experience is defined by the number of similar projects that the tester has worked on before [7].…”

Software testing outsourcing appears to be the best alternative to acquire better software quality with competent ratification by extrinsic parties who have the capability to do it. Through the effort, organizations are peeking to promising benefits constitute in it such as current testing technology, experts, an abridgment of the project's duration and more concentration on the main organisation's activity. Along with these benefits, one important reason that encourages the decision is optimization of cost expenditure, which the strategy is perceived as a good move for a competitive organization. However, implementing such preference eventually results in a different outcome. Organizations have to bear the higher cost and incur losses of cost deviation from the expected estimation. The conflicting between cost and benefits raises an important concern of striving better cost estimation for such projects. This paper aims to address this interest by analyzing the existing literature in order to identify the contributing factors towards better cost estimation for software testing outsourcing project-context. The analysis is done using the content analysis method. The results could be divided into two categories; which are the cost items and contributing factors. Cost items consist of direct cost and indirect cost, which refers to the expenses for the project. While the contributing factors consist of people and environment, which are needed to produce accurate cost estimation. The findings provide an insight to excogitate attentively the essentials in the endeavor of improving the exactitude of cost estimation for software testing outsourcing project.

“…Estimation of software testing efforts has been an area of interest in software development. Abhilasha and Sharma (2013) calculated the number of testers and hours required in regression testing using their Test Effort Estimation in Regression Testing (TEERT) approach. The output of TEERT is in Man-hr which requires the following inputs: Change Type, Number of Selected Test Cases, Test Execution Complexity, and Test Team Productivity.…”

Software testing effort estimation is a critical phase in software project management. Software testing is an integral part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It ensures that requirement specifications are met before a product is deployed. Accurate test estimation is crucial to the on-time delivery of a project and ensures that it meets resource constraints. In this study fuzzy logic is used to estimate the manual test script authoring effort in the test process. MATLAB software is used to design the fuzzy logic system that would calculate the duration of the scripting effort. The variables considered were test complexity, test script reusability, and number of test scenarios. The crisp output is the effort estimation in hours. The Delphi method was used to collate the ratings of each expert for the parameters of each membership function in each variable. The linguistic rules were defined after. Crisp inputs for each project were applied to the model and the output was compared with the actual effort duration of previous projects and expertbased estimation. The results showed that the mean absolutive relative error (MARE) of the fuzzy logic model has performed better than the expert-based estimation technique. Thus, the fuzzy logic framework may be used as a decision support tool in manual scripting effort estimation. This study is the first to explore the effort estimation in manual test script authoring. This model could serve as a baseline to test engineers, test leads, project managers, and business analysts.
