  • Abstract
    With the advent of CMMI in the late 1990s, software companies tried to use a kind of score to rank themselves in the market. Being a CMMI level five company for a long time represented the epitome of highly qualified company. This phenomenon is also emerging in the agile software development with the emergence of methods such as Nokia or comparative test agility. This paper presents an analysis of how these methods are placed in the context of agile software development and its contribution to the improvement of software process in the same context from a case study developed in real companies.
