The Software Maturity Index (SMI) is defined as

SMI = [Mf – (Fa + Fc + Fd)] / Mf

Where

Mf = the number of modules in the current release.

Fa = the number of modules in the current release that have been added.

Fc = the number of modules in the current release that have been changed.

Fd = the number of modules 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

1 Answer

Answer :

(A) SMI approaches 1
