Machine learning statistical methods estimating software system's security analysis assessment or audit effort, cost and processing decisions

摘要

A method, system and computer-usable medium for generating a security analysis effort, cost and process scope estimates, comprising: analyzing a software system; identifying a complexity level of a security analysis, the complexity level of the security analysis comprising identification of an effort level for the security analysis; and, generating the security analysis effort estimate, the security analysis effort estimate comprising an estimate of an effort expenditure to perform a security analysis on the software system at the identified complexity level.
