TMMi background and history

The TMMi framework has been developed by the TMMi Foundation as a guideline and reference framework for

test process improvement, and is positioned as a complementary model to the Capability Maturity Model

Integration Version 1.2 [CMMI] addressing those issues important to test managers, test engineers, and

software quality professionals. The Testing Maturity Model Integration (TMMi) seeks to help organizations to

improve the complete testing process through a holistic approach to quality assurance. The TMMi

methodology approaches improving testing by providing a standard reference model so that strengths and best

practices can be identified and weaknesses in testing effectiveness and efficiency can be improved.

Dell EMC receives industry recognition

Validation team has been actively engaged in enhancing our process capabilities and is pleased to achieve the

fully certified TMMi level 3 Certification. Dell EMC is the first major technology company in North America to

achieve this level.”
