SQA Engineer Question:
Can you please explain the difference between ISO and CMM level?
Answer:
The difference is that the CMM is a way to communicate capabilities, and ISO is a way to communicate the process. They are not necessarily incompatible.
The Capability Maturity Model is a very specific way of classifying an organization's software development methods. In a certain way, it tells how the quality of its softwaredesigns is likely to be repeated.
ISO-9000 procedures describe a (possibly) definite development process but gives no indication of the likely quality of the designs or whether multiple software efforts are likely to produce software of similar quality.
