“Improve and Transform through Raw Test Steps ” Uniform sizing across engagement Inconsistent productivity measurement Productivity improvement measurement Automated reporting Project planning is one of the pivotal elements in project management process. How each individual team interprets the goals to be achieved is a direct representation of the level of clarity incorporated in the project plan. Especially when it comes to a test project, inaccurate project planning can have a serious implication on the test execution of the system under test and on the overall quality of the product as a whole .

Raw Test Step (RTS) Raw Test Step RTS is a single action point or verification point in a particular Test step. It is the most unit level step in a test case. The RTS computation can be implemented in Navigational actions in Test Cases, Test Data generation, Batch execution and Result validation, Database Testing, Extract Transform, Retesting/Re-execution/ Regression. Computation for RTS Logon to the Siebel test environment Go to the Smart Scripts Tab Invoke "Telephonic Service Request" The above step will have RTS = 5. (Logging in = 3 RTS, Navigating to Smart scripts Tab = 1 RTS and Invoking ‘Telephone Service Request’ = 1 RTS)
