Abstract
This article presents a simple model which explains anomaly discovery and repair phenomena when applied to variations in work load and multiple-stage testing. The theory shows that estimates of anomaly levels and team capability can be predicted after a significant fraction of the anomalies has been found, and indicates procedures for applying these figures to schedule estimation and work-load assignment. Of particular interest is the demonstration that end-to-end testing of programs in other than the operational environment is not generally cost effective.
