Question

The Software Maturity Index (SMI) is defined as $SMI=[M_f – (F_a +F_c + F_d)] / M_f$

where $M_f$= number of modules in current release

$F_a$ =the number of module in the current release that have been added

$F_c$ = the number of module in the current release that have been changed

$F_d$= the number of module in the current release that have been deleted

The product begins to stabilize when

• A. SMI approaches 1
• B. SMI approaches 0
• C. SMI approaches -1
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

answer A

The product begins to stabilize when

No new module is added in the current release , Fa=0

No change happened in old release, Fc=0

No module is removed from old release , Fd=0

SMI = [Mf - (Fa+Fc+Fd)]/Mf =[Mf -(0+0+0)]/Mf =1
