ABSTRACT:
A system and method for determining software maturity, the method comprising the steps of building an uncensored belief distribution from a set of observed test data, building belief distributions based on improvement factors, convoluting the uncensored belief distribution with the belief distribution on improvement factors to form a censored belief distribution. From these belief distributions, a 3-way assessment is made including establishing an a priori belief distribution to assess a level of software maturity.
