Software Maturity Index is that which can be used to determine the readiness for release of a software system. This index is especially useful for assessing release readiness when changes, additions, or deletions are made to existing software systems. It is calculated as follows:
SMI = Mt – ( Fa + Fc + Fd)/Mt, Where
SMI – is the Software Maturity Index value
Mt – is the number of software functions/modules in the current release
Fc – is the number of functions/modules that contain changes from the previous release
Fa – is the number of functions/modules that contain additions to the previous release
Fd – is the number of functions/modules that are deleted from the previous release.
