The WZ associated diboson production is studied by measuring both inclusive cross section and, for the first time, the ratio between the W-Z and the W+Z cross sections. The measurements are performed using data samples of proton-proton collisions collected during the years 2011 and 2012, at 7 and 8 TeV of centre-of-mass energies, respectively, by the CMS experiment at the LHC, updating the 7 TeV cross section measurement available in CMS, and presenting the new cross section measurement in CMS at 8 TeV. The data sample used for the 7 TeV measurements correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1, whence the data for the 8 TeV correspond to Lint=19.6~fb-1. The obtained results are found compatible with the Standard Model predictions.
