Tmmi usage for improving test processes and practices in agile projects

This thesis deals with the processes of software testing and possibilities of their improvement. Particular attention is paid to improve testing processes through dedicated models. The thesis focuses on the TMMi (Test Maturity Model Integration), which provides a robust framework for the comprehensive improvement of test processes maturity. TMMi was primarily designed for organizations that follow traditional development methods. However, it is a major trend nowadays to switch to agile method, whereupon TMMi Foundation responds and tries to accommodate organizations with their model.The main goal of the practical part is an informal assessment of the current state of testing processes in the company Glogster, a.s. using the model TMMi. Identified deficiencies are the subject of a proposal to improve testing processes so that the second level of the TMMi can be achieved. An appropriate method of evaluation should be selected for analysis. However, TMMi model does not contain a practical assessment method. It is therefore necessary to select an appropriate unofficial method, whose work was, for example, the subject of other dissertations. Proposed results are discussed with members of the development team. The contribution of this work is to identify deficiencies in software testing processes in a particular company and tailor-made design that a company can use to improve these processes. Another contribution of the work is to clarify the usability of the TMMi model in small and medium-sized agile teams.
