Testing Effort Estimation

How many of us are not asking the team members to stretch or extend to complete the Task?

I am sure everyone will ask..(:-)

As you all know there is no tool or approach available to give 100% correct estimation for Testing Effort. In My knowledge (my opinion) this will depend on Situation, Project, Resources, Technology. If I am having everything (clear specifications, good resources and required technology) in my hand i will choose WBS for Effort Estimation. If I don't have clear requirements I will say 40% of development Team. I feel I should have thorough knowledge on all approaches and should able to choose the right approach based on the situation.

There are some good links available in net on Software Testing Effort Estimation. Please verify the below links.
