Which of the following would be the most significant input to estimating the time to carry out the specified testing tasks?

Topic 4, Scenario 4, V2 "Test Management Tool"

The project situation after 11 months is:

– The first increment was released one week late but contained sufficient functionality to be declared fit for purpose’. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment two.

– The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second Increment slippage to just 3 weeks.

– There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to resolve any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capture-replay tool).

– Concerns have been expressed by a section of the user community, that in some places the usability is very poor.
