"SW Quality Assurance in CMMI®"
Abstract
The Software Engineering Institute of the Carnegie Mellon University started developing the Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) in the late ‘90s in order to standardize their approach to process improvements and assessments and to address the problem of maintaining a growing number of similar models: for systems engineering (SE-CMM), integrated product development (IPD-CMM), software acquisition (SA-CMM), human resources (People CMM), to name few, that were built during the 90s following the huge success of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for SW development. This presentation is a brief overview of the latest CMMI-DEV model (version 1.2 for development) released in August 2006 followed by a more detailed review of only three of its Process Areas: Product and Process Quality Assurance (PPQA), Verification (VER) and Validation (VAL) compared with contemporary testing practices.
About About Josip Pajk
Josip Pajk has more than 25 years of hands-on and leadership experience in the analysis, development and assessment of complex products and processes in the engineering of systems from the military and aerospace domains. In the last 8 years he worked primarily on the verification and validation (testing) of distributed Air Traffic Management SW applications. During 2001-02 as Site Coordinator he has planned and participated in one of the first CMMI (SCAMPI) assessments ever performed with the combined SE/SW/IPPD/SS version (1.1) of the CMMI model, released in March 2002.Past Meetings
