Abstract :
A quantitative, adaptive process control technique is described using an industrially validated model of the software system test phase as concrete target to be controlled. The technique combines the use of parameter correction and model predictive control to overcome the problems induced by modeling errors, parameter estimation errors, and limits on the resources available for productivity improvement.
