title = "An open source simulation model of software development and testing",
abstract = "This paper describes a new discrete event simulation model built using a mathematical tool (Matlab) to investigate the simulation of the programming and the testing phases of a software development project. In order to show how the model can be used and to provide some preliminary concrete results, we give three examples of how this model can be utilized to examine the effect of adopting different strategies for coding and testing a new software system. Specifically, we provide results of simulation runs intended to simulate the effects on the coding and testing phases of different testing strategies, the adoption of pair programming in an otherwise-unchanged process, and the automation of testing. The model source code is available for downloading at http://qp.research.ibm.com/concurrency\_testing, and we invite researchers and practitioners to use and modify the model.",
