1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: create a macro plan for a test project that includes estimating an effort distribution and a defect distribution and generating a cost overview of the test project based on the effort distribution and the defect distribution; create a micro plan for the test project, wherein the micro plan and the macro plan are based on at least one common parameter; and reconcile the macro plan and the micro plan by identifying deviations between the macro plan and the micro plan based on the at least one common parameter.
