Features: The Software Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is one of the renowned products of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and is widely recognized by the international software community as a significant achievement in software engineering. The model is primarily used to measure the development management level of software enterprises. It can serve as a reference standard for software contractors to assess the project execution capabilities of bidders and can also be used by software enterprises as a reference model for software process improvement. 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, among other content, elaborating on the software engineering practices of software management for mature software processes. The book also includes several appendices at the end, providing valuable reference information. This book can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science departments and software colleges in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for individuals involved in improving software processes, including assessment team members, software engineering process team members, software managers, and software professionals.
