Abstract

Verification and validation (V&V) is only marginally addressed in software process improvement models like CMM and CMMI. A roadmap for the establishment of a sound verification and validation process in software development organizations is badly needed. This paper presents a basis for a roadmap; it describes a framework for improvement of the V&V process, based on the Testing Maturity Model (TMM), but with considerable enhancements. The model, tentatively named MB-V/sup 2/M/sup 2/ (Metrics Based Verification and Validation Maturity Model), has been initiated by a consortium of industrial companies, consultancy & service agencies and an academic institute, operating and residing in the Netherlands. MB-V/sup 2/M/sup 2/ is designed to be universally applicable, to unite the strengths of known (verification and validation) improvement models and to reflect proven work practices. It recommends a metrics base to select process improvements and to track and control implementation of improvement actions. This paper outlines the model and addresses the current status.
