A closed-loop feedback control model of the Software Test Process (STP) is described. The model is grounded in the well established theory of Automatic Control. It offers a formal and novel procedure...
Effect of Disturbances on the Convergence of Failure Intensity (2007)
Joao W. Cangussu, Aditya P. Mathur, Raymond A. Decarlo
We report a study to determine the impact of four types of disturbances on the failure intensity of a software product undergoing system test. Hardware failures, discovery of a critical fault,...
A State Variable Model for fhe Software Test Process Jo~ao Cangussu (2007)
Raymond A. Decarlo, Aditya P. Mathur
A novel approach to modeling the software development process is presented. This approach is based on the use of concepts and techniques from the theory of state variables and feedback control. The...
Software Release Control using Defect Based Quality Estimation (2004)
João W. Cangussu, Aditya P. Mathur, Richard M. Karcich, Raymond A. Decarlo
We describe two case studies to investigate the application of a state variable model to control the system test phase of software products. The model consists of two components: a feedback control...
A formal model for the software test process (2002)
Joaäo W. Cangussu, Student Member, Raymond A. Decarlo, Aditya P. Mathur
AbstractÐA novel approach to model the system test phase of the software life cycle is presented. This approach is based on concepts and techniques from control theory and is useful in computing the...
Perspectives and results on the stability and stabilizability of hybrid systems (2000)
Raymond A. Decarlo, Michael S. Branicky, Stefan Pettersson, Bengt Lennartson
This paper introduces the concept of a hybrid system and some of the challenges associated with the stability of such systems, including the issues of guaranteeing stability of switched stable...
