Tech Note by:
Gene Chesser
Mark Keating
SUMMARY
Extensive, rigorous testing
means quality and customer
value.
Dell EMC uses TMMi
methodology to expand our
test process capability and
overall maturity to achieve a
high level of product quality
and delivery capability.
Dell EMC’s testing process
gains industry recognition.
The role of testing in PowerEdge quality
Testing and Validation is part of every manufacturer’s product release
process. At Dell EMC however, the detail and diligence that goes into
every product adds value and confidence that products and solutions
meet the most stringent requirements, going beyond “break fix” to
ensure reliability and lifecycle value to our customers. The testing
processes not only fix bugs: It also demonstrates true capabilities that
customers can expect to receive when the products are in their IT
infrastructures, driving their real-world applications. Dell EMC testing
also results in comparative metrics that demonstrate competitive
differentiation. These metrics and competitive claims are legally
approved, again to provide customers confidence that the test results
reflect the true capabilities of the products and solutions.
Testing Maturity Model Integration (TMMi)
The Dell EMC PGCO Enterprise Validation Team has focused on
identifying a concept, approach and methodology to expand our test
process capability and overall maturity to achieve a high level of product
quality and delivery capability. The Testing Maturity Model Integration
(TMMi) is a model of testing best practices that can help organizations
determine whether their testing processes are complete and whether
they are effective. It contains levels through which an organization
passes as its testing process evolves from one that is ad hoc and
unmanaged to one that is managed, defined, measured, and optimized.
Achieving TMMi Certification insures that every product follows a set
process to insure both functionality and the ability to perform tasks as
expected.
