    Using Functional Abstraction Models for Effort Estimates


    Model-based testing can be a powerful tool for spiral or incremental development, because it reduces the work required for test-creation and test maintenance. The same flexibility makes model-based testing -- especially functional abstraction model-based testing -- a very useful tool for project estimation, for initial ballpark estimates, full project estimates, as well as estimating the impact of specific change requests on project schedule and budget. This paper describes the theory and construction of functional abstraction models, and applies them to the estimation of testing of simple and moderately complex example applications.

    John is Principal System Engineer for Disha Technologies of Pune, India, working from its Bellevue office in the U.S.A. Prior to joining Disha in 2001, he began at Microsoft in 1989, where he managed large teams in the Windows systems group until Windows 2000 shipped in 2000. Has won the best paper award in Star EAST 2004.
