1. A method comprising:
generating a test model from test cases and test case dependencies in a test modeling module of a test planning optimization workbench which includes a processor and a memory device, wherein the test case dependencies are automatically derived from traceability between the test cases and use cases, the test cases are defined in a micro plan as tasks that are performed in association with a particular use case, and as such are linked to the particular use case, determining a test estimate effort for each test case by leveraging knowledge of best practices and/or an applicable reference project using pre-defined rules, logic or probability tables; generating a cost model in a cost module based on at least one constraint and at least one of defect-fix cost, business cost, and delay cost; and generating a resource plan in a resource modeling and simulation module based on a resource base, the test model, and the cost model, wherein the resource plan allocates resources defined in the resource base to the test cases, minimizes a total cost base on the cost model, conforms to the test case dependencies defined in the test model, and satisfies the at least one constraint defined in the cost model. |
