Need For TMM
We need the Maturity model for the following reasons:
- It helps in better assessment and enhancement of the quality of the testing process.
- The software quality and efficiency of the testing processes increase manyfold.
- As it is a test process model we can integrate it with other development models too.
- Since software testing is not defect-free, the TMMi model aims at reducing the defects to as minimum as possible.
Test Maturity Model – Software Testing
The Test Maturity Model (TMM) in software testing is a framework for assessing the software testing process to improve it. It is based on the Capability Maturity Model(CMM). It was first produced by the Illinois Institute of Technology to assess the maturity of the test processes and to provide targets that improve the maturity.
Currently, there is a Test Maturity Model Integration (TMMI) which has replaced the Test Maturity Model. TMMI has a five-level model that provides a framework to measure the maturity of the testing processes. The purpose of a Test maturity model is to find the maturity and provide targets for enhancing the overall software testing process.
