Testing

At Sixsentix, we always seek opportunities to share our expertise, promote continuous improvement of software quality, and bring industry professionals closer together. One of the ways we achieve this is through our partnership with the TMMi (Test Maturity Model Integration) Foundation.

As a global standard process model for test process assessment and improvement, TMMi provides a structured framework for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of testing in organizations. Through our collaboration with the TMMi Foundation, we offer a training program that enables individuals to become certified professionals, equipping them with the crucial tools and knowledge to understand and apply the TMMi model.

 

What is the TMMi framework?

TMMi is a globally recognized framework designed to help organizations improve their software testing outcomes. The model provides a structured path to enhance test maturity, starting from chaotic, ad hoc testing to fully optimized and managed processes. The framework is highly adaptable, making it relevant for various industries, and aligns with the needs of modern business environments by boosting software product quality and testing efficiency.

The framework’s main benefits include reduced product risks, increased testing productivity, and improved overall software quality, ensuring that critical software functions perform reliably in production. By using the TMMi framework, organizations can identify strengths and weaknesses in their testing processes, prioritize areas for improvement, and implement best practices for more effective testing.

The impact doesn’t stop there. TMMi-certified organizations also report improvements in compliance, stronger customer satisfaction, and greater competitiveness in the marketplace. This is because TMMi drives efficiency in testing processes, which reduces the time needed to launch products while maintaining high quality standards. It’s a win-win for businesses that aim to innovate quickly but safely.

Finally, TMMi serves not only as a guide for organizations looking to optimize their test processes but also as a formal certification for those who reach certain levels of maturity. This certification proves a company's commitment to continuous improvement and software quality at an industry-standard level, thus building trust with stakeholders and clients.

Building expertise with TMMi certification

TMMi certification offers a clear path for career development. Starting with the TMMi Professional certification, participants can establish a strong foundation in the framework and start building the expertise required to help their organizations improve their testing processes.

From there, the journey continues with opportunities to become an accredited assessor, a lead assessor, and eventually, a test process improver. These roles involve performing formal TMMi assessments and leading teams in large-scale process improvement efforts. These credentials can boost your visibility and credibility in the software testing field, opening doors to advanced career opportunities.

Sixsentix leading the way: Germany’s only TMMi training provider

We are proud to be one of the organizations authorized to deliver the TMMi Professional course. The course is designed to give participants a thorough understanding of the TMMi model’s structure and its real-world applications as an introduction to further learning options.

In collaboration with other strategic partners (such as Brightest, our exam provider, and Qytera as our training partner), Sixsentix became the first and only provider of this training in Germany.  We teach professionals how to navigate and apply the TMMi model in their respective organizations, preparing them to participate in discussions and initiatives around test process improvements. Matthias Rasking, the managing director of Sixsentix Germany, who also serves as a TMMi Lead Assessor, instructor and a board member of TMMi foundation, explained:

Although it’s the most used test process assessment framework in the world, the number of TMMi professionals and certified organizations in Germany and the German-speaking market is very low. We’d really like to start addressing this gap and turn this challenge into new opportunities.
