Answer to Question 1

Organizations often elect to use independent testing teams instead of the original developers to ensure that the system operates as expected from the end user viewpoint. Such an approach also allows for more objective testing and takes some pressure off the development team.

Answer to Question 2

The assessment identifies areas for improvement and establishes action plans needed to upgrade the development process. Over the course of a few years, the organization can improve its maturity level by executing the action plan.
