SPI and in particular CMMI is being widely use by several organizations to improve their product quality. However, the SMEs are reluctant in adopting it and in particular maturity level 2 of CMMI, because they think that achieving this level is too expensive and do not see a clear benefit on it. Our solution to captivate the interest of SMEs in CMMI is the anticipation of some process areas of ...

This paper outlines the development of a Configuration Management model for the MEDical device software industry (CMMED). The paper details how medical device regulations associated with Configuration Management (CM) may be satisfied by adopting less than half of the practices from the CM process area of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). It also investigates how the CMMI CM proc...
