Software Testing Process Models Benefits&Drawbacks: a Systematic Literature Review <s> Test Maturity Model Integration -TMMi <s> The discipline of software testing is increasingly drawing industry's attention to itself due to the demand for quality products and the high level of competition in the market. This scenario can be supported by a maturity model that continuously improves the discipline of testing when applied to the software development lifecycle. Therefore, MPT.BR, the acronym in Portuguese for Improving Test Processing. Brazil, is presented as a maturity model for testing to help when introducing testing disciplines in software organizations. It can be seen as an alternative for companies that aim to increase their product quality and ROI. MPT.BR has been applied over the last 3 years in small and medium-sized software organizations, the results of which will be discussed in this paper. <s> BIB001 </s> Software Testing Process Models Benefits&Drawbacks: a Systematic Literature Review <s> Test Maturity Model Integration -TMMi <s> Testing is an essential part of the software development lifecycle for gaining trust in the quality of the delivered product. Concerns have been raised over the maturity of existing test processes and techniques, and the desire to improve has been acknowledged. Even though there are test process improvement models available on the market, the guidelines on how to use them are unsatisfactory. This paper describes the empirical analysis of Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) through a single-object case study of test process assessment and improvement planning conducted in Playtech Estonia’s Casino unit. An evaluation on the performance of TMMi is presented, raising also some concerns over its applicability in agile environments. Improvement possibilities for TMMi are described, which contribute to the potential enhancement of the framework. <s> BIB002
TMMi was published by the TMMi Foundation in 2007 as the successor of TMM [TM1] and a supplement of the CMMI approach. It consists of five maturity levels: Initial, Managed, Defined, Measured, Optimization; moreover, every level, besides the first level, includes several process areas. The process areas contain generic and specific goals, which can be achieved by the provided practices and their activities BIB002 . . It consists of a reference model, which represents the structure, and an assessment guide, which provides evaluation steps. The reference model defines five maturity levels: Partially Managed, Managed, Defined, Defect Prevention and Automation and Optimization. Each maturity level includes a group of process areas, which provide sets of related practices to achieve a specific goal. The assessment guide is organized into four phases: Hire Assessment, Prepare Assessment, Conduct Assessment and Document Assessment BIB001 .
