Abstract:
Capability Maturity Model
Integration (CMMI) is a software process improvement model that aims at
improving the processes of the software development. CMMI focuses on the “process
quality” instead of “product quality”. Studies have shown that focusing on
“process quality” alone does not guarantee the quality of the produced
software, whereas equal attention to product quality is also essential for
ensuring the overall software quality. The objective of this presentation is to
present a framework for measuring software product maturity as an indicator of
product quality. The measure used for the product maturity is the level of the
product compliance with the internal and external quality attributes defined in
the stakeholders’ requirements. The proposed framework enables measuring the
quality of the product from the developers’ and the users’ perspective.
