Testing Process Improvement

TMMi is a test maturity model developed by the TMMi Foundation

TMMi is being applied in various domains and industries world-wide

Perceived as a de-facto standard for test improvement and assessment

Using TMMi, organisations can improve

their test process and even have their test

process or test organization accredited when it

complies with the requirements. Important

differences between TMMi and other test

improvement models are independence,

compliance with international testing standards,

the business-driven (objective-driven) orientation

and the complementary relationship with the

CMMI framework.
