3. “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 .

4. 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)

11. Conclusion
After implementation of RTS based estimation technique, we were able to effectively do Project Sizing ,Implement Productivity measurement techniques and metrics. It has also standardized estimation technique across all projects and has provided us flexibility in estimation with huge cost and 20 % of effort savings.
Our solution can be answer to Project Sizing and Productivity Improvement
