1. A method comprising:

  • identifying constraints including at least one of a test environment, language and knowledge for a test for test cases;

    generating a test model from the test cases and test case dependencies in a test modeling module of a test planning optimization workbench which includes a processor and a memory device;

    determining a test estimate effort for each test case by leveraging knowledge of at least one of best practices and an applicable reference project using pre-defined rules, logic or probability tables, wherein the pre-defined rules, logic and probability tables are based on analysis and data-mining of historic data from past projects;

    generating a cost model in a cost module based on at least one constraint; and

    generating a resource plan in a resource modeling and simulation module based on a resource base, the test model, and the cost model, wherein the resource plan allocates resources defined in the resource base to the test cases, minimizes a total cost base on the cost model, conforms to the test case dependencies defined in the test model, and satisfies the at least one constraint defined in the cost model;

    wherein the test model comprises a dependency graph and a critical path.
