Testing is considered to be an important stage in the software development process. Therefore, there are different proposals regarding how to perform testing activities at a project level and at organizational level. However, in the context of very small organizations where there are ad-hoc proposals in software and system engineering, the ease of the adoption of influential models such as ISO/IEC 29119, TMMI and TPI is not yet clear. The objective of this work is to compare these models with the characteristics of the resources and finances of small organizations established in the standardization guidelines of ISO. This study conducted a comparative analysis of test process models with respect to the characteristics of very small organizations. A comparative chart was obtained with the answers of the analysis of each model with respect to the criteria considered. It can be inferred from the analysis, that the assessed test process models are not easily adoptable by very small organizations. Resumen: La prueba de software es una etapa importante en el proceso de desarrollo de software. Por lo tanto, hay diferentes propuestas sobre cómo realizar actividades de prueba a nivel de proyecto y a nivel organizacional. Sin embargo, en el contexto de organizaciones muy pequeñas donde existen propuestas ad hoc en software e ingeniería de sistemas, la facilidad de adopción de modelos influyentes como ISO/IEC 29119, TMMI y TPI aún no está clara. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar estos modelos desde las características de los recursos y las finanzas de las pequeñas organizaciones establecidas en las pautas de estandarización de ISO. Este estudio realizó un análisis comparativo de modelos de procesos de prueba con respecto a las características de organizaciones muy pequeñas. Se obtuvo un cuadro comparativo con las respuestas del análisis de cada modelo con respecto a los criterios considerados. Del análisis se puede inferir que los modelos evaluados de procesos de prueba no son fácilmente adoptables por organizaciones muy pequeñas.
