How do you arrive at the estimaton of efforts for a
particular function, if you have not worked on that
function testing before and do not have any past experience?

Answer Posted / shabana

The question is about estimation & not about the testing
strategy.

In can be drived based on following :
-------------------------------------
1.Based on the Functional Spec given
2.A rough estimation can be made based on the development
estimation given.(This is not preferred option but it helps)
3.It can also be based on the different integration points
with the AUT.
4.I guess a tester should be able to give an approx
estimation based on requirement analysis,funtional specs

Correct me if i am wrong.
Its truly good interview question.
