软件测试的“钓鱼成熟度模型”

 

Matt Heusser 和Chris McMahon在2010年4月的STP杂志仿照CMM模型提出了软件测试的“钓鱼成熟度模型”，用钓鱼比喻软件测试：

 

1 Chaotic（混乱阶段）.

Fishing is a seat-of-the-pants, ad hoc,made-up-as-we-go, improvised process.

随机的过程。有时候能钓到大鱼，有时候钓不到鱼。

 

2 Planned（已计划级）.

The location and timing of your daily fishing expeditions is scheduled. With knowledge of how you did for the past two weeks, knowing you will go to the same places, you can predict the size of your catch.

对于位置、时机等都进行了计划。重复以往的做法，可以顺利地找到一定量的bug。

 

3 Managed（已管理级）.

By taking your fishing process and standardizing processes for how fast to drive the boat, how deep and how quickly to let out the nets and so on, you can improve your estimates over time.

测试过程标准化。按照一定的程序去钓鱼！

 

4 Measured（已度量级）.

You track your results over time, to determine exactly how many pounds of fish are delivered at what time with what processes.

跟踪和度量测试过程。钓鱼的数量、质量、效率都要跟踪和度量。

 

5 Optimizing（优化级）.

Now, you experiment with different techniques to see which technique yields more fish and which does not. This is continuous improvement.

引入不同的测试技术和流程来持续不断地改进测试过程。
