Linear and nonlinear analysis of a testing effort model
The maintenance and testing effort is modelled as a predator-prey model in the well-known Lotka-Volterra form in order to facilitate tracking and estimating maintenance and testing resources. Our aim is to find a solution for a crucial software development decision problem, namely for determining the end of testing and releasing the product. The method is based on tools of system theory and is applied on real project data.
