How to calculate Test Case Productivity ?

Test Case Design Productivity or Test Case Productivity (TCP) is the ratios of Number of Test Steps/Cases prepared to Effort spent for Test Steps/Cases Preparation. Effort spend is always measured in hours.TCP is used to determine the test case design productivity and is used as input parameter for future estimation. Test Case Productivity is also known as Test Case Design Productivity. Test Case Productivity is either calculated on Test Steps / Person Hour or Test Case / Person Day basis.

How to calculate to Test Case Productivity (Test Steps/Person Hour):

Test Case Productivity = (Number of Test Steps Prepared) / (Effort spent for Test Case Preparation)

TC Name	No. of Test Steps	Consolidated Effort Spend	Test Case Productivity
TC01	40	8	30
TC02	70
TC03	60
TC04	20
TC05	50
Total	240

  

Test Case Productivity (TCP) = 240/ 8

                                                = 30 Test Steps/ Person Hour

Test Case Productivity is measured in test steps per person per hour.     

How to calculate to Test Case Productivity (Test Case/Person Day):

Test Case Productivity = (Number of Test Cases Designed) / (Effort spent for Test Case Design)

Resources	No. of TC's Designed	Efforts Spend	Test Case Productivity
Associate 1	180	40	20
Associate 2	160
Associate 3	150
Associate 4	150
Associate 5	160
Total	800

 

Test Case Productivity (TCP) = 800/40

                                                = 20 Test Cases/ Person Day
