This is a repeat presentation of one of their most popular webinars.

If you missed it the first time, you can catch it now, and hear about how test estimation is done, using techniques that work in both traditional and Agile lifecycles.

• How many testers do we need?
• How many test cases do we need?
• How many bugs will testing find?
• How long will testing take?

Those are good questions, but those questions are often hard to answer.

In this webinar, drawn from three decades of industry experience and materials in his best-selling book Managing the Testing Process: Practical Tools and Techniques for Managing Hardware and Software Testing, Rex will discuss fundamental techniques for test estimation.

Join in the discussion after the initial presentation, and ask Rex about the challenges you face with test estimation.
