Justification for the Roles of Selected Factors in Determining Vulnerability. The determinants of adaptive capacity are based on a synthesis of many case studies in the literature on natural hazards and other risks. The determinants are hypothesized to be important, with a lot of anecdotes to back that claim
Prioritizing Manual Test Cases in Traditional and Rapid Release Environments
