What is the relevance of CMMI for test organizations?
A . CMMI is not relevant for a test organization, as CMMI only covers software development.
B . Organizations that implement CMMI should also use TMMi for their test processes, because CMMI does not cover testing.
C . CMMI adds value for organizations that implement TMMi because CMMI gives the organization the possibility to implement TMMi in a continuous way.
D . At CMMI level 3 two specific process area are defined for testing, Validation and Verification.

Answer: C

Explanation:

CMMI and TMMi complement each other in many ways. While CMMI focuses on improving broader

software development processes, TMMi specifically addresses testing. Implementing CMMI provides value to test organizations by enabling a structured and continuous improvement approach that can incorporate TMMi as part of the overall process.

CMMI’s continuous representation allows organizations to implement specific process areas related

to testing (like verification and validation) and integrate TMMi practices for continuous improvement

in their testing processes. Organizations following TMMi may also refer to CMMI practices for

complementary process improvements in areas such as configuration management, planning, and

performance measurement.

TMMi

Reference: TMMi outlines how CMMI’s process areas, such as Verification and Validation, provide critical value for testing organizations.

CMMI’s structure supports continuous process improvement that aligns well with TMMi’s structured approach to test process maturity.
