Quantitative management of the testing process can be accomplished by adapting the tools, methods, and procedures used for general process control in the software engineering domain. It is useful to initially select test subprocesses as targets for control since their scope is smaller and therefore easier to manage. Some example test subprocesses that are suggested are inspections, system test, and unit test. As a precondition to quantitative control, the target testing process, or subprocess must be documented and its steps well defined. Measurements must be standardized, and expected ranges for the measurements must also be documented. The measurements are the basic elements of quality control. They need to be collected and analyzed. Adjustments are then made to the process based on the analyses so that it becomes stable and more predictable.
