Software maintenance is an important activity in software development lifecycle. Any changes during the maintenance phase have impact on cost and time. Thus, to minimize cost and time, a test effort estimation is crucial. This research will produce an automate tool that can help the software manager or a maintainer to search for the coverage artefact before and after a changes request. Software quality engineer can determine the test coverage from new changes which can support in cost estimation, effort and schedule estimation. In an ongoing research project, we are developing software traceability model with test effort estimation. In this paper we described the development methodology which includes 3 major phases: requirement analysis, design and development, and finally the usability analysis of the proposed model.
