The Testing Maturity Model (TMM) was based on the Capability Maturity Model, and first produced by the Illinois Institute of Technology.cite-ref-crosstalk1-1-0[1]

Its aim to be used in a similar way to CMM, that is to provide a framework for assessing the maturity of the test processes in an organisation, and so providing targets on improving maturity.

| Level 3 – Integration | At this level testing is integrated int… |

Each level from 2 upwards has a defined set of processes and goals, which lead to practices and sub-practices.

The TMM has been since replacedcite-ref-tmmi-2-0[2] by the Test Maturity Model integration and is now managed by the TMMI Foundation.cite-ref-tmmifoundation-3-0[3]
