Abstract
A method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to objectively assess the quality of software products. The method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium relate to determining a product maturity level of one or more software products. The disclosure describes a method for acquiring product quality attributes of a software product. Each product quality attribute is assessed by one or more metric parameters which test the software product by mathematical or logical test methodologies. Once evaluated, the one or more metric parameters and the one or more product quality attributes may each be mapped to a capability level based on a capability scale. A maturity level may be mapped from the capability level of the capability level of the one or more product quality attributes to the software product to provide a quality assessment of the software product.
