FL-5.1.4 (K3) Use estimation techniques to calculate the required test effort
3. You want to estimate the test effort for the new project using estimation based on ratios. You calculate the test-to-development effort ratio using averaged data for both development effort and test effort from four historical projects similar to the new one. The table shows this historical data .
