The research project Software Engineering Simulation by Animated Models (SESAM) aims at providing a training environment for future project managers. The basic idea is to create a model of the software development process that can be interpreted by a simulator. A student using the simulator can control the simulated project interactively, managing it more or less successfully. In this paper, the simulation system and the model description language are presented. Then a new simulation model, the Quality Assurance (QA) model, is introduced. This model covers all activities of software development from requirements' specification to product delivery. The model especially emphasizes the effects of quality assurance activities. Finally, simulation results obtained by executing the QA model are presented and discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
