Munic, November 19, 2014: TestSPICE represents a test process improvement model and a certification in terms of professional software testing. Now, the TestSPICE SIG (Special Interest Group) releases the version 3.0 which marks a real milestone in the fields of quality assurance.

The Process Reference Model (PRM) of TestSPICE based on more than 25 years“ experience of more than 1500 consultants and experts from the software and system test area. The process definitions follow the ISO / IEC 15504-2. Furthermore, the TestSPICE considers IEEE 829, ISO / IEC 29119, and the ISTQB standard.

The Process Assessment Model (PAM), which integrates the Process Reference Model (PRM) in itself, also contains a set of indicators concerning the assessment of processes.

The brand new version 3.0 represents a true milestone compared to the previous version. The new TestSPICE underwent a major revision or supplement in the following topics:

– restructuring of the process categories and process groups
– more detailed elaboration of individual process groups (e.g. test data management, test automation)
– alignment with ISO 29119
– alignment with ISO 15504-5: 2012
– additional material concerning the agile software development (TestSPICE support for agile projects)

An international team of reviewers of North America, Europe, and Asia also brought more than 200 suggestions for improvement in the state-of-the-art standard.

Compared to other test process improvement models, the TestSPICE offers a detailled and differentiated view of test processes combined with the with the proven framework of ISO / IEC 15504. Besides of that, the model evaluation guidelines contains a standardized assessment process and assessor training. Further information: http://i3consult.biz/index.php?id=pr19&L=1
