The basis for understanding what testing is, is therefore the understanding of the testing process. This paper presents the general concept of a process, and expands on this to present a suggestion for a generic...
An approach is presented that integrates IEEE professional standards, with the process suggestions of "Control Objectives for Information and related Technology" (CobiT) and customer focused IT Service Management (ITSM) / IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework best practices. Engineering managers are professional problem solvers possessing the skills needed in today's highly governed...
This paper extends the concept of the control idiom as defined in papers by Bristol, McAvoy, and Prassinos. The idioms are categorized in terms of the different classes of control goals and combinations of goals to define higher level goa Primary idiom define the steady-state condition the plant, whereas secondary idioms define requirements for improved control strategy.
