Test Automation Maturity Model

The Test Automation Maturity Model (TMM) is a framework designed to help organizations evaluate and enhance their test automation processes, ensuring they evolve from initial, unstructured efforts to advanced, efficient practices. TMM provides a structured approach by defining stages of maturity—from the Initial Stage, where automation is ad hoc and reactive, to the Optimized Stage, where automation is fully integrated, scalable, and continuously improving with the help of advanced technologies like AI. Each stage highlights distinct characteristics and practices, such as the integration of automation into CI/CD pipelines and the use of self-healing tests. By following the TMM, organizations can streamline their automation efforts, reduce time to market, minimize defects, and ultimately deliver high-quality software products. The model also emphasizes the importance of selecting the right tools, such as AI-powered solutions like testRigor, to support existing processes and improve automation maturity.
