This skill should be used when users need to estimate test effort based on product requirements. It analyzes requirements, breaks down tasks, estimates test effort (case design, first run, retest, regression), and exports results to Excel.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Test Effort Estimator ## Purpose This skill provides a systematic approach to estimate test effort based on product requirements. It analyzes requirements, breaks them down into testable items, estimates effort for each phase (case design, first run, retest, regression), and generates an Excel report. ## When to Use Use this skill when users provide product requirements and need: - Test effort estimation for new features - Resource planning for testing phases - Detailed breakdown of testing activities - Excel export of effort estimates ## How to Use ### Step 1: Analyze Requirements Read and understand the provided product requirements. Identify: - Functional modules and features - User stories and test scenarios - Complexity levels of different features ### Step 2: Break Down Test Items For each requirement, identify test items: - Test entry points and navigation - Data display and validation - User interactions and workflows - System operations and state changes ### Step 3: Estimate Effort Apply complexity-based estimation standards: **Simple Features** (0.20-0.30 person-days for design): - Single function, clear logic - Few operation steps, simple data preparation …

How to install
mdr add joe-qai/qa-skills/test-effort-estimator@sha256:925abe9a6eda8dcdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260325.34f3a7e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
