Claim:
1. A method of determining a product maturity level of one or more software products comprising: acquiring, using circuitry, one or more parameters associated with one or more software products, the one or more parameters including one or more product quality attributes; acquiring one or more metric parameters associated with each product quality attribute, wherein the one or more metric parameters include a test methodology; evaluating, using the circuitry, one or more metric parameters to determine a metric value for each metric parameter, wherein the metric value is a numerical result; mapping, using the circuitry, a capability level to each metric parameter based on the metric values, wherein the capability level is a rating associated with a capability scale; mapping, using the circuitry, a capability level to each product quality attribute based on associated metric values, wherein the capability level is a rating associated with the capability scale, and wherein the mapping of the capability level to each product quality attribute includes calculating an integer value of an average of the capability level of each metric parameter; mapping, using the circuitry, a product maturity level to the one or more software products based on the capability level of one or more product quality attributes, wherein the product maturity level is a rating associated with a maturity scale; and transmitting the product maturity level of the one or more software products to an external device; wherein the one or more metric parameters associated with each product quality attribute includes a weight value associated with each metric; and wherein the mapping of the capability level to each product quality attribute based on associated metric values incorporates the weight value associated with each metric.
