Decision support for test management in iterative and evolutionary development

Testing resources and time are usually limited, especially by schedules for market-driven products and in fast-paced software development projects. In this paper the author presents his PhD proposal about a framework to support rapid and informed decision-making for test management in the context of iterative and evolutionary development. The objective is to continually focus testing on the value it provides for the project and, thus, enable effective and efficient testing even under uncertainty and schedule pressure
