軟體測試的“釣魚成熟度等級模型”

 

Matt Heusser 和Chris McMahon在2010年4月的STP雜誌仿照CMM模型提出了軟體測試的“釣魚成熟度等級模型”，用釣魚比喻軟體測試：

 

1 Chaotic（混亂階段）.

Fishing is a seat-of-the-pants, ad hoc,made-up-as-we-go, improvised process.

隨機的過程。有時候能釣到大魚，有時候釣不到魚。

 

2 Planned（已計劃級）.

The location and timing of your daily fishing expeditions is scheduled. With knowledge of how you did for the past two weeks, knowing you will go to the same places, you can predict the size of your catch.

對於位置、時機等都進行了計劃。重複以往的做法，可以順利地找到一定量的bug。

 

3 Managed（已管理級）.

By taking your fishing process and standardizing processes for how fast to drive the boat, how deep and how quickly to let out the nets and so on, you can improve your estimates over time.

測試過程標準化。按照一定的程式去釣魚！

 

4 Measured（已度量級）.

You track your results over time, to determine exactly how many pounds of fish are delivered at what time with what processes.

跟蹤和度量測試過程。釣魚的數量、品質、效率都要跟蹤和度量。

 

5 Optimizing（最佳化級）.

Now, you experiment with different techniques to see which technique yields more fish and which does not. This is continuous improvement.

引入不同的測試技術和流程來持續不斷地改進測試過程。
