Abstract	Testing is an integral part of product development (PD), supporting the identification of design failures, validation of product requirements and verification of the deliverables. The information generated by testing facilitates learning, increases design knowledge, and thus decreases uncertainty in the product design. Although test strategy planning is part of PD planning, the integration of design and test activities in the PD process is often insufficient, hampering the information flow between testing and design teams. Poor process integration leads to undesired rework, which can lead to lower product quality and/or increased project cost and time-to-market. This paper proposes an adaptive process modeling approach for integrated test and PD strategy planning by focusing on three test strategy planning aspects: what, when and how to test in PD to best achieve the project’s goals. In the adaptive test process approach, the selection and scheduling of test activities, based on the maturity of information delivered by design activities, fosters the better fulfillment of testing goals, faster and more effective design iteration loops, and reductions in both test process cost and duration.
