Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results on developing a Test-Driven Development (TDD) maturity model, incorporating organizational context and testing strategy. A qualitative study provided initial insights, while an evaluation by experts study further refined and evaluated each level. Our results indicate that the model captures the complexity of TDD adoption in professional settings, suggesting its applicability for evaluating and improving TDD practices. Future work will refine the model and explore its application in di˙erent organizational contexts.
