Abstract
It is important for a company to know if it is able to attend the clients' requests on time, mainly in competitive markets. When the planning is done improperly, the company usually fails to comply its schedules or gets undesirable situations, as overtime and quality reduction. This paper defines a test execution capacity model and presents the use of the simulation technique for estimating teams capacities for executing tests in mobile applications. We also report our experiences using this model in an organizational setting.
