Completing the e-Survey

 Should take between 30 mins

on your role in the organisation
– You can select to complete all
process areas if you like
 For each process area there
are two elements:
1. Statement scores against the
model
2. Process implementation
effectiveness

11


 Statement scores against the model
– Review each statement, then select a score between 0 and 10 based on
how much you agree that the statement is true for your organisation
– If you don’t have an opinion, please leave the score blank

12


 Process implementation effectiveness
– For each process area, select a star ranking for:
 How well you feel the organisation has approached the definition of the
process area
 How well you feel the organisation has deployed changes in the process
area
 How good you think the results of deployed process changes for the
process area are

13


 Testing Trends and non-TMMi section
– Obtains a personal view of testing progress in your organisation over the last 2
years
– Contains statements on areas outside of TMMi that may still impact your
organisations test process effectiveness

14


 Your views are important: please answer honestly
 No preparation is required
 Do not use reference material to help you answer questions
 Your first answer is most often the right answer

 Allows you to save what you have entered and return later
 Only saves data entered on submitted pages

16

Things to note

 Assessment Team only will see individual data
 Important: this should be a personal perspective:

– Responses should be based on experience, not research
– Do not spend too much time trying find the “right” response
– Your first answer is generally the best answer
