Features: The Software Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is one of the renowned products of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and is internationally recognized as a significant achievement in software engineering. This model can be used to assess the maturity level of software development units and also for self-assessment by development units to understand their strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to achieve continuous improvement of the unit's software development process, ensure software quality, reduce costs, and enhance software development efficiency. This book is divided into two parts. The first part includes chapters on the evolution of CMM, the concept of software process maturity, model structure, understanding and application of CMM, and case studies. The second part includes key practices of CMM, elaborating on software engineering practices for mature software processes. The book also includes appendices at the end, providing valuable reference information. This book can serve as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science majoring in software engineering, as well as for individuals seeking to improve software processes, including assessment team members, software engineering process team members, software managers, and software professionals.
