Abstract: Abstract This chapter investigates the optimal efforts allocation plan to minimize the total cost during the testing phase of the software development life cycle using three stages fault detection, isolation, and removal under a dynamic environment. We have used three-stage modelling to allocate resources, which incorporates different efforts, i.e. detection effort, isolation effort, and removal effort. We have used the optimal control-theoretic approach to find the optimal policies by considering effort as a control parameter. We also discussed the variations in the future cost of the model by assuming that the cost of detection, isolation and removal follows the learning curve phenomenon. The theoretical results and optimal control theory-based optimized policy is supported by a numerical example.
