Estimate testing effort, duration, and resourcing for a Katalon True Platform/TestOps cycle. Use when the question is how long testing will take, how many testers it needs, whether the scope fits the sprint window, or what a scope change costs in person-hours. Sizes design, manual execution, automated execution and triage, and rework separately, counts the countable part from platform data (case counts, automation split, historical pass and stability rates, configuration matrix), calibrates…
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
# Katalon Test Estimation Use this skill for the **estimation** half of the planning stage: turn a scoped cycle into person-hours, a date, and a headcount. The output is a **range with a confidence label**, never a single number. `test-plan` decides what gets tested; this skill decides what that costs. ## Availability Boundary State this before producing any number. **The Katalon MCP can count the work. It cannot measure the effort.** - **Available via MCP:** case and suite counts (`find_test_cases`, `read_test_suite`, `find_test_cases_by_requirement`), uncovered requirements (`fetch_requirement_data`), automated/manual split when exposed (`fetch_test_case_data`), failure and flake rates (`fetch_test_stability_data`, `find_test_results`), the configuration matrix (`fetch_test_configuration_data`), the cycle window (`find_iterations`), and a past execution's machine-recorded elapsed time (`read_execution`, `read_execution_test_results`). - **Not available at all:** how long a person takes. No tool books effort against a case, a run, or a person. A manual run's open and close timestamps are calendar elapsed, not work. …

How to install
mdr add katalon-labs/true-skills/test-estimation@sha256:d54c3ce528e13f1cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.36b8bbd, 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.
