SPaMCAST 293 – Test Maturity Model Integration, TMMi

SPaMCAST 293 features our essay on the Test Maturity Model Integration (TMMi). The TMMi is a maturity model focused on improving both the process and practice of testing! The TMMi covers the entire testing environment not just typical dynamic testing. The essay begins: “All models are wrong, but some are useful.”  - George E. P. Box Information Technology (IT) has many useful models for addressing the complexity of developing, delivering and running software.  Well known models include the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®), the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) and the Test Maturity Model Integration (TMMi®) to name a few. The TMMi delivers a framework to help practitioners and IT executives understand and improve the quality of the products they deliver through better testing.To listen to the rest listen of the essay on the Software Process and Measurement Cast 293.
