Abstract
Many organizations and industries continuously struggle to achieve a foundation of a sound verification and validation process. Because verification and validation is only marginally addressed in software process improvement models like CMMI, a separate verification and validation improvement model has been developed. The framework of the improvement model presented in this paper is based on the “Testing Maturity Model (TMM). However considerable enhancements are provided, such as a V&V assessment procedure and a detailed metrics program to determine effectiveness and efficiency of the improvements. This paper addresses the development approach of MB-V2M2, an outline of the model, early validation experiments, current status and future outlook. The resulting model is dubbed MB- V2M2 (Metrics Based Verification&Validation Maturity Model).
