Adoptability of Test Process Models: ISO/IEC 29119, TMMI y TPI from the small organization perspective
Abstract
Testing is considered to be an important stage in the software development process. Therefore, there are different proposals regarding how to perform testing activities at a project level and at organizational level. However, in the context of very small organizations where there are ad-hoc proposals in software and system engineering, the ease of the adoption of influential models such as ISO/IEC 29119, TMMI and TPI is not yet clear. The objective of this work is to compare these models with the characteristics of the resources and finances of small organizations established in the standardization guidelines of ISO. This study conducted a comparative analysis of test process models with respect to the characteristics of very small organizations. A comparative chart was obtained with the answers of the analysis of each model with respect to the criteria considered. It can be inferred from the analysis, that the assessed test process models are not easily adoptable by very small organizations.
