At TMMlevel 5 an organization has in place a high-quality and effective testing process. A characteristic of such a high-level process is the ability to identify, evaluate, and integrate new technologies into the organiza tional processes in a smooth and effective way. This ability supports test process optimization. The CMMindicatestheimportanceofsuchagroup of abilities by specifying it in a Key Process Area called “technologychange management” at CMM level 5. In the context of the TMM this group of abilities is called technology transfer and is a component of the “test process optimization” maturity goal. Technology transfer involves several steps or phases. Responsibility for the implementation of the steps is appropriately assigned to SEPG or TPG members. The group selected must ensure that there is a policy for technology change management, there is support for these changes by upper management, there is a measurement program that will support evaluation of technological changes, and there is a training program to introduce new technologies into the organization. These requirements suggest that a mature testing process is necessary, thus, the reason for including technology transfer as a component of a TMM level 5 maturity goal.
