The invention of the term "bug" is often erroneously attributed to Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.  A typical version of the story is given by this quote: “ In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark-II and Mark-III ( The   Harvard Mark II   was an electromechanical computer built at Harvard University   under the direction of   Howard and was finished in 1947. It was financed by the United States navy ) . Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitch's in a program a bug . ” Hopper was not actually the one who found the insect, as she readily acknowledged. The date in the log book was 9 September 19

Many heard about CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) But that subsets all points of development and testing. Focus is more on development rather than quality activities. What about the quality which actually adds value to the project. Here comes TMMi (Test Maturity Model Integration) Quality and testing which is given low preference sometimes than development, needs a change. And here is this foundation which actually created TMMi and I guess IT industries need to start creating a space for TMMI along with CMMi. Please check the site of TMMi foundation here http://www.tmmifoundation.org/html/tmmiorg.html To know its impact read these articles

Here are the factors which should be considered before making estimation 1.        Technical a.        Experience and Knowledge of test team in the technology which is used. b.       Type of application – web application, executable file, games or any other. c.        Technical dependencies (if development and testing team is not at one location). d.       Tools used and their flexibility 2.        Functional a.        Number of requirements free zed b.       Number of critical functionalities c.        Types of testing done – User interface testing, cross browser testing, localization testing and ma
