A dynamic predictive model of a computing system fabrication test is constructed. The computing system fabrication test is conducted over test sectors. Each test sector corresponds to a different type of the computing system fabrication test, and includes test operations that are individually performed to effectuate the test sector. The dynamic predictive model generates a predicted completion time of each test operation of each test sector. Production output of the computing system fabrication test is forecast for a scenario corresponding to a particular computing system to undergo fabrication testing, by applying the dynamic predictive model to the scenario. The production output is forecast in that a total time remaining until the particular computing system to which the scenario corresponds has completed the fabrication testing is predicted.
