System and method for automatically selecting one or more metrics for performing a CMMI evaluation

摘要

A computer implemented method for automatically identifying one or more metrics for performing a CMMI evaluation of an entity, wherein the CMMI evaluation is performed at a particular CMMI level and the method comprises the steps of:- accessing an electronic database of a plurality of candidate metrics;- providing a first list of requirement elements to define a set of specific requirements of the entity;- providing a second list of requirement elements to define a set of general requirements of the business field of the entity;- searching for a first subset of metrics from the plurality of candidate metrics that match the first list and second list of requirement elements;- searching for a second subset of metrics from the first subset of metrics that match with the CMMI level; and- outputting the second set of metrics in a user-friendly format suitable for a CMMI evaluation.
