In the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for software, the definition describes the range of expected
results that can be achieved by following a software process is that of:

A.
Software process capability

B.
Structured analysis/structured design (SA/SD)

C.
Software process maturity

D.
Software process performance

Explanation:
A software process is a set of activities, methods, and practices that are used to develop and
maintain software and associated products. Software process capability is a means of predicting the
outcome of the next software project conducted by an organization. * Answer software process
performance, is the result achieved by following a software process. Thus, software capability is
aimed at expected results while software performance is focused on results that have been
achieved. *Software process maturity is the extent to which a software process is: Defined Managed
Measured Controlled Effective Software process maturity, then, provides for the potential for
growth in capability of an organization. An immature organization develops software in a crisis
mode, usually exceeds budgets and time schedules, and software processes are developed in an ad
hoc fashion during the project. In a mature organization, the software process is effectively
communicated to staff, the required processes are documented and consistent, software quality is
evaluated, and roles and responsibilities are understood for the project. Answer SA/SD is a
distracter.
