Abstract

In this paper an agent-based concept for the Adaptive Test Management System (ATMS) was presented. The test units, the test cases and the test resources are represented by software agents, which through negotiations and by integrated fuzzy-controllers plan the test. They prioritize test cases, request new test cases and allocate test resources based on a desired quality of test and the available test time. Due to dynamic events during the test, the test plan is continuously adapted from a test cycle to the other. In addition, due to the feedback about found defects during the test and during the operation, the test planning and control strategies are continuously optimized.
