Analytical quality assurance (QA) constitutes a significant part of the development costs of software. Therefore, it is important to optimise the costs and benefits in this area. The main issue is the use and combination of different QA techniques. This dissertation proposes a stochastic model of the economics of analytical QA based on expected values. On the basis of the model, the effort for the combined use of QA can be analysed and optimally planned. A literature review was done for the parameters of the model and based on this a sensitivity analysis was performed. It showed the relevance of the factors in relation to the predictions of the model. A method for the prediction of defect-prone components complements the model. Moreover, several case studies have been performed in order to analyse the model factors and for calibration
