Test planning with TMMi practices Shanthi Kumar Vemulapalli

Every Software project needs to follow the certain industry processes and the standards to get the quality products for any business operations. While planning for these processes adoption, one needs to think whether they can be used strategically to produce the quality software by having incremental process improvements. When the management pursues such kind of thoughts, Test Maturity Model integration[TMMi] is one of the famous processes integration package in parallel to CMMi. The TMMi has been getting popular due to its detailed specific process areas and it has easy adoptable capabilities. I have used TMM and TMMi in many of my previous projects for different customers around the world for different business domain areas through my past services rendered to IT services companies. While planning for implementation we need to get the management commitment also where they agree to adopt incremental process improvements to gain the software quality incrementally. Without having; the resources trained and motivated continuously and constantly by getting their commitment, it is impossible to implement a new setup. Hence the management also needs to understand the test organization setup needs and its continuous improvements. At the same time the development team also needs to adopt some of the CMMi processes in parallel to the TMMi processes. Then only through both the teams it is possible to have the roadmap for incremental quality software programme implementation. I felt to share the TMMi implementation knowledge to the global IT professionals to impart this kind of motivation and the practices for their IT organizations. As a part of my initial thought I started with the Book "Following TMMi practices to produce Quality software products " which contains the Test policy and strategy process implementation by using its goals and specific practices with live examples. In this book, I have presented the test planning process area with its goals and specific practices with the implementable examples. You can keep looking for other books those contain the remaining process areas for Level2. Without having the Level2 processes in practices it is not advisable to consider other levels of TMMi.
