Assessment Team Selection and Training
Performing a test process assessment, gathering andinterpretingdata,and developing the final reports is a complex process. This process should be the responsibility of an assessment team. The team members need to be knowledgeable and motivated. A candidate for TMM assessment team membership should have TMM assessment knowledge, be well-respected in the organization, be motivated to improve the testing process, have the ability to implement change, and have several years of develop ment/testing, and/or managerial experience (an average of 7 years is rec ommended) [25]. Team members may come from the projects being se lected for assessment or from other projects in the organization. An assessment team should have a leader(s) who has a high level of technical and managerial expertise, experience in TMM assessments, is a problem solver, and has excellent communication skills.
