Testing Maturity Model - TMMi Foundation

The TMMi Foundation has recently been founded and is dedicated to improving test processes and practice. It is a non-profit making organisation and the focus of the foundation's activities is the development of a common, robust model of test process assessment/improvement in IT organisations. TMM has begun proving its value and has created much interest in the testing industry recently. The TMMi framework intends to expand on this base to reflect current and future industry trends and needs.

The TMMi Foundation will provide:

• A standard TMMi Model that can be used in isolation or in support of other process improvement models and is either staged or continuous.
• An independently managed data repository to support TMMi assessment method accreditation, assessor and assessment certification/validation and validated assessment data and certificates.
• Assessment Method Accreditation/Audit Framework for TMMi in accordance with ISO15504 and the process to certify commercial assessment methods against the standard model.
• Certification and training/examination process, procedures and standards for formal, public accreditation of Assessors and Lead Assessors and the on-going management.
