O impacto da adoção o dos modelos de maturidade TMMi e MPT.Br na gestão de projetos de software

Abstract

Software quality is defined as a set of characteristics that the final product should satisfy to meeting the users needs. Despite the increase of its importance, especially in the last two decades, projects still fail frequently because they don’t deliver the required quality standards, making many systems quickly obsolete or useless. In this context, maturity models such as the CMM, CMMI and MPS.Br, at national level, were proposed to help companies evaluate and improve their software process. One problem with these models is that they don’t provide adequate attention to testing processes which represent one of the most expensive tasks of the life cycle of a system. This paper presents the results of a systematic review conducted to assess the state of art about TMMi and MPT.Br maturity models, proposed to cover the gap of traditional models regarding the testing process, and their impact in the management of software projects by organizations. The results presented in this article demonstrate that use of TMMi and MPT.Br in addition to other maturity models can bring significant improvements to organizations in the software projects managment, improving the quality of products developed and customer satisfaction.
