•
SEI = 'Software Engineering Institute' at Carnegie-Mellon University;
initiated by the U.S. Defense Department to help improve software
development processes.
• CMM = 'Capability Maturity Model',
developed by the SEI. It's a model of 5 levels of organizational
'maturity' that determine effectiveness in delivering quality software.
It is geared to large organizations such as large U.S. Defense
Department contractors. However, many of the QA processes involved are
appropriate to any organization, and if reasonably applied can be
helpful. Organizations can receive CMM ratings by undergoing
assessments by qualified auditors.
Level 1 - characterized by
chaos, periodic panics, and heroic efforts required by individuals to
successfully complete projects. Few if any processes in place;
successes may not be repeatable.
Level 2 - software project
tracking, requirements management, realistic planning,
and configuration management processes are in place; successful
practices can be repeated.
Level 3 - standard software
development and maintenance processes are integrated throughout an
organization; a Software Engineering Process Group is is in place to
oversee software processes, and training programs are used to ensure
understanding and compliance.
Level 4 - metrics are used to
track productivity, processes, and products. Project performance is
predictable, and quality is consistently high.
Level 5 - the
focus is on continouous process improvement. The impact of new
processes and technologies can be predicted and effectively implemented
when required.
