Sounds like a Forest Gump answer. I have to give an estimate for fixes that I make to identify how much QA time will be needed to see if there is an impact in another area of our software. On the average a change that takes me 4 hours to do takes QA 10 - 40 hours to test. Large span of time because of large span of interoperability in our codebase. My 4 hours is 1 for the reading the PRD and making the project, 1 for the documentation for what I am going to do we call it the TDD, 1 to do it and one for unit tests of it for the build manager. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
