Regress analysis of soft effort,quality and cycle time based on CMM5 projects
Xie Ming, Ecnu Computer · Microcomputer & its Applications · 2007
Software development organizations on CMM 5 possess highly mature processes which impact on software effort, quality, and cycle time. Using a linear regression model based on data collected from 37 CMM level 5 projects of four organizations, the study found that high levels of process maturity reduce the effects of most factors that were previously believed to impact software development effort, quality, and cycle time. The only factor found to be significant was software size.
