I discuss the importance of thorough testing with developers, provide realistic time estimates, and highlight the impact of skipping tests. This ensures we allocate enough time for quality testing and a successful outcome.

It's important to be vocal about the importance of testing with developers and relevant stakeholder. Ensure you highlight the overall testing effort required and the scope of testing. A realistic testing estimate if not considered might impact the product quality.

It is necessary to make a checklist of the entire process of the piece or project that is going to be created. And the steps need to be checked every day.

Its better to have QA input on effort estimation from the start for better accuracy and to track testing time regularly and adjust the same if needed. If there is a scope of automation, Implement automated tests to reduce manual effort, especially for repetitive tasks. It is also important to focus testing on high-risk areas or key features first. Along the journey, Plan buffer time for fixing and retesting issues and after each sprint, assess how well testing time was estimated and adjust future plans.

• Outline the testing scope, priorities, and timeline in a clear document and share it with a client. • Use techniques like risk-based testing to allocate time effectively. • Use project management tools like Jira or Trello to provide visibility into testing progress and pending tasks. • Share daily updates on testing status and challenges faced.

I communicate the testing scope clearly, provide time estimates based on past projects, and collaborate to adjust timelines while ensuring critical areas are covered.

I adopt a "Test-Driven Estimation" where testing timelines are not merely added to development estimates but intrinsically linked right from the beginning of the project. This involves requirement analysis in detail to foresee the testing complexities, keeping buffers for unexpected issues, and iterative feedback with the developers throughout the development cycle. A proactive collaborative approach like this ensures realistic testing timelines, minimizes the risk of underestimation, and hence is helpful in the successful outcome of the project.

Para garantir estimativas precisas, incluo tempo de buffer, detalho requisitos com a equipe e promovo comunicação constante. Ajustar cronogramas conforme necessário ajuda a evitar atrasos e garantir a qualidade do projeto.

To ensure success, set realistic testing timelines by involving testers early in planning. Break tasks into smaller, clear steps and track progress regularly. Allocate extra time for unexpected issues and communicate openly with the team. Encourage collaboration, document findings, and prioritize fixing critical bugs before moving forward.
