CMM Certification of SDIT

What is CMM?

In November 1986, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) with assistance from the Mitre Corporation began developing a process maturity framework that would assist organizations in improving their software process , which was initiated in response to a request to provide the federal government with a method for assessing the capability of their software contractors.

After four years of experience with the software process maturity framework and the preliminary version of the maturity questionnaire, the SEI has evolved the software process maturity framework into a fully defined model.

The CMM describes the principles and practices underlying software process maturity. It is intended to help software organizations improve the maturity of their software processes and offshore outsourcing processes in terms of an evolutionary path from chaotic processes to mature, disciplined software processes. The focus is on identifying key process areas and the exemplary practices that may comprise a disciplined software process.

Common Features

Common features of CMM include practices that implement and institutionalize a key process area. These five types of common features include: Commitment to Perform, Ability to Perform, Activities Performed, Measurement and Analysis, and Verifying Implementation.

The CMM3 pre-assessment covered all KPA's (Key Process Areas) of CMM2 & CMM3, including Requirements Management (RM) , Software Project Planning (SPP), Software Project Tracing and Oversight (SPTO), Software Configuration Management (SCM) , Software Quality Assurance (SQA), Organization Process Focus (OPF) , Organization Process Definition (OPD), Training Program (TP), Integrated Software Management ( ISM), Software Product Engineering (SPE), Intergroup Coordination (IGC), Software Peer Review (SPR), totally 12 KPA's. SDIT received high praise from the CMM3 assessment committee.

Structure of CMM

SDIT Passed CMM3 Assessment

During the process of CMM3 assessment, the CMM3 assessment team paid a visit to SDIT's high level software engineering process group (SEPG), software engineering group, training group, QA team, configuration management, as well as project managers. After checking all of documents of CMM process, organizing implementation, and project execution, which objectively reflect SDIT's software process improvement in the past year, the CMM3 assessment team gave a very high praise to SDIT for its application ability of CMM and its related theories as well as its high standard offshore software outsourcing management and offshore software development process. The assessment results prove that SDIT is always pursuing high standard management and operating system as well as the software outsourcing capability.
