Some typical actions in software projects are taken based on the test effort and the understanding one has about it. This understanding involves the identification and characterization of the factors influencing the test effort, taking into account different test levels, types, techniques, and execution forms. Goals: Building a model of effort perception in software testing process that represents the factors influencing the effort in different test strategy configurations, supporting decision making in software testing projects. Method: Systematic Literature Review (SLR), observation study in industry, and survey with software test practitioners. Results: The studies supported the identification and characterization of 62 different effort factors. The survey led to identify the prevalence of these factors in six typical activities of the software testing process considering six different test strategy configurations. Based on the results of the three studies, a software test effort perception model was developed, adaptable to different test strategy configurations. Conclusion: The proposed model was considered useful to support managerial activities that must take into account the comprehension about the test effort, among them the effort estimation
