CMMI version 2 recognises the importance of testing in software development and includes two dedicated practice areas:VerificationandValidation. These areas specifically addressthe processes required to ensure that a system or component meets its specified requirements and that the final product is fit for its intended use. While CMMI does not provide a testing-specific maturity model, these practice areas contribute to the overall quality management framework, and organisations adopting CMMI can leverage these processes to improve their testing practices. The TMMi framework complements CMMI by providing more detailed guidelines for testing.
