Please give me as many points of comparison.

Answer Posted / nilanjan saha

‘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 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 continuous process improvement.
The impact of new processes and technologies can be
predicted and effectively implemented when required.
