Abstract
It is important in developments of software systems with quick delivery and high quality how developments are conducted adaptively. This paper presents an add-on process for developments of software systems, namely Adaptive Development Framework. ADF consists of Quality-adaptive testing, ATLM/prototyping and Predictive Trial and Error. ADF can improve traditional development cycles by spinning a cycle more rapidly, condensing a cycle to turn it more and adding small cycles to compare what they are with what they should be. ADF will lead development processes to deal swiftly and flexibly with changes of conditions. Next we propose a test strategy to detect many fatal failures by fewer test cases, namely Quality-adaptive testing. Quality-adaptive testing is a test strategy focusing on where bugs have been detected and test where many bugs will lurk based on knowledge of production patterns and bug patterns. We also detail a Quality-adaptive testing tactic and the procedure, namely Quality-adaptive Resource Path Testing.
