Despite encouraging results with various quality improvement approaches, the IT\nindustry is still far from achieving zero defect software. Testing will remain an\nimportant activity within software development and maintenance, often taking\nmore than 30 - 40% of the total budget. Both the increasing importance of\nsoftware in the society and the costs that are involved in testing, confirm the need\nfor structuring the testing process. This paper provides an outline description of\nTMap, the Test Management approach for structured testing (both white-box and\nblack-box) of software products. It provides answers to the what, when, how,\nwhere and who questions of testing. To structure the organisation and execute the\ntest processes TMap is based on four cornerstones:\no a development process related l~te cycle modelfor the testing activities (L);\no solid organisational embedding (0);\n• the right resources and infrastructure (I);\n• usable techniques for the various testing activities (T).\nIn recent years TMap has evolved towards the standard fir software testing in\nThe Netherlands. It is being used by more than two hundred Dutch organisations.\nMost Dutch banks, insurance companies, pensions funds and government\ndepartments use TMap partly or as a whole. More and more SME’s have adopted\nTMap and new market segments have been penetrated such as consumer\nelectronics, telecommunications and logistics. The TMap book (in Dutch) has\nproven to be a best seller; international interest and awareness has resulted in a\nplan for the release of an English version.

Test Management is the process of managing the software test life cycle (STLC) of the application under test (AUT). It starts with test planning activity and ends with test results reporting. The objectives of test management are to manage requirements dynamically, effectively utilize the 'testing cycle ' time and efficient use of testers in terms of their productivity. Test management tool known as 'Quality Center (QC) ' is widely used for managing the STLC of the project. Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for execution in an order that attempts to maximize some objective function. A variety of objective functions are applicable; one such function involves rate of fault detection — a measure of how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. An improved rate of fault detection during regression testing can provide faster feedback on a system under regression test and let debuggers begin their work earlier than might otherwise be possible. In this paper we have presented a method of choosing risk-based test cases. Our risk analysis is based on a practical risk model, and is similar to that used by some organizations.

Software test management is a hot field of software engineering both in academia and industry. However, traditional research are focused on software quality rather than test quality which could be evaluated by test management. Meanwhile, previous works on evaluating software test management were mostly based on statistical methods. In recently years, machine learning algorithms and techniques are developing rapidly. Logistic Regression is one of the important and often used algorithms. It is widely used in many domains such as credit investigation, book classification and so on. Therefore, our objective is to establish a logistic regression based approach for software test management to evaluate test quality. In this paper, we introduce our methodology to build metrics framework for test management, and enumerate the definition, type and range of each metric. We also show some results of our experiments using some data samples from a huge data sets.

ABSTRACT Test process is one of the last manufacturing processes where product quality is measured before being shipped to customers. Product quality is gauged by a 100% test based on pass or fail basis. However, with today's technology scaling challenges causing subtle shift in product parameters which subsequently result in latent reliability mechanisms in the field, new quality controls beyond pass-fail test approach are required to ensure robust product quality. This paper introduces a shift left approach in product test process by applying sophisticated predictive analytics on parametric test data. The predictive analytics engine known as the Quality Early Warning System (QEWS), is used to monitor parametric shifts or abnormalities of tester conditions, such as temperature parameters, which will be demonstrated in this paper. The predictive analytics capability deployed in the product test process triggers the test personnel to take investigative actions on the test environments based on the QEWS alerts. This shift left methodology enhances the traditional pass-fail test quality management approach by utilizing parametric data generated from the test to monitor the healthiness of the test environment. It can also be applied to monitor actual product quality if a strong correlation is established between test or process parameters and product quality.

Drive testing plays a crucial role in assessing and optimizing the performance of mobile networks for operators. With the transition from fourth-generation (4G) to fifth-generation (5G) networks, it becomes essential to evaluate and compare the performance of these technologies in real-world scenarios. Drive test real measurement data assumes a central role in optimizing mobile networks. Operators gain invaluable insights into critical factors such as signal quality, data throughput, and handover events by conducting physical drive tests. This empirical data empowers them to identify areas with inadequate coverage, optimize antenna settings, refine handover parameters, and strategically deploy additional base stations. This paper provides symmetrical performance analyses based on an experimental study of operating 5G cellular networks in Muscat, Oman. The data measurement campaign was collected using mobile devices from three mobile network providers (Omantel, Ooredoo, and Vodafone). The network's performance was evaluated using various metrics, including channel quality indicators, data rates and handover events. Assessment results show that the leading networks in the measured area are 5G networks for all mobile network providers. While 5G has showcased incremental improvements over 4G in some instances, it's still in its nascent phase. Recommendations include continuous network monitoring by operators and augmented 5G base station deployment to heighten the quality of service by ensuring higher data rates and minimal latency.

Community resource management, as defined in the literature, is a generic term that implies utilization of both biophysical and sociocultural resources.' Community management, as practiced by international agencies and host-country governments, is the improvement of resource management in order to provide a sustainable enrichment in the quality of life in a given area. Those improvements, and the concept of sustainability, become very important in land reformation and resettlement programs. In these programs, development efforts involve imposition of economic, social, and technological change. In order to introduce those changes effectively, complex resource-management strategies must be balanced with interrelated, often conflicting, goals.2 An adequate research framework for assessing that balance has not been published, however.3 The purposes of this study, therefore, were to compare and contrast watershed-resource management in newly established communities, with particular attention to fuelwood and water management; to characterize successful watershed-resource-management practices suitable for mountainous northern provinces and for provinces of the plains of northeastern Thailand; and to provide a research framework that utilizes an interdisciplinary approach and has value for problem solving at the community resource-management level.

This thesis addresses the Test and Evaluation process and demonstrates, through application of a dynamic systems model, that the Test and Evaluation process is a conglomerate of lower-order systems. Each system can be characteristically analyzed by focusing on objectives, input/outputs, interfaces, environmental, and effectiveness dimensions. Hence, the systems approach to management is suggested as a paradigm for the Test and Evaluation process. This approach provides a systematic way of thinking about the job of management and emphasizes viewing the Test and Evaluation system as a whole instead of as segregated parts. The classic functions of management can be put in juxtaposition with the phases of test and Evaluation to provide a better insight to management of scarce resources. Implementation of a strategy is perhaps the most important first step in practically using the systems approach and as such stimulates the manager to think in the proper perspective. (Author)

In the ever-evolving landscape of startups, risks and opportunities draw in creative and entrepreneurial individuals who strive to realise their visions. While much of this occurs concealed from the gaze of the public, innovation has transformed from an enigmatic black box into a predictable and manageable process-provided one possesses the right tools and knows where to look and what actions to take. The method presented here for evaluating and managing startup risks is geared towards the uncertain world of innovative startups and enables entrepreneurs and investors to navigate it more confidently. The book introduces an agile non-cash-flow-based methodology for startup valuation, offering practitioners a holistic risk and innovativeness assessment tool enabling quantification of a startup's potential for exponential growth throughout its lifecycle. The proposed Hypothesis Testing Method covers underlying assumptions rooted in the five primary hypotheses accounting for the lifecycle stages and potential contingencies of a startup venture. This guide will be invaluable to practitioners seeking to navigate the complexities of innovation, harnessing the potential of cutting-edge startups, and shifting the traditional capital-at-risk approach towards an opportunity-at-risk mindset, fostering a healthier investment culture and facilitating the advancement of transformative technologies.

Due to rapid improvements in the area of embedded processing hardware, the complexity of developed systems constantly increases. In order to ensure a high quality level of such systems, related quality assurance concepts have to evolve. The introduction of Model-Based Testing (MBT) approaches has shown promising results by automating and abstracting multiple activities of the software testing life cycle. Nevertheless, there is a strong need for approaches supporting scoped test models, i.e. subsets of test cases, reflecting specific test purposes driven by risk-oriented development strategies. Therefore, we developed an integrated and model-based approach supporting test case management, which incorporates the beneficial aspects of abstract development methodologies with predominant research for test case management in non-model-based scenarios. Based on a new model artifact, the integration model, tasks like cross-domain information mapping and the integration of domain-specific KPIs derived by analyses favor the subsequently applied constraint-based mechanism for test case management. Further, a prototypical implementation of these concepts within the Architecture And Analysis Framework (A3F) is elaborated and further evaluated based on representative application scenarios. A comparative view on related work leads to a conclusive statement regarding our future work.
