Discuss why an organization might elect to use a separate, independent team for quality testing rather than the group of people who originally developed the software.

Question 2

Your organization develops accounting software for use by individuals to budget and forecast their expenses and pay their bills while keeping track of the amount of money in their savings and checking accounts. Develop a strong argument for the management of your firm as to why they must conduct an assessment of its current software development practices.

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.
