SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Defining various business functions
This model is mainly developed for maintaining the business functions in which the
software development is an obvious thing (Kulenovic and Donko 2014). Moreover, in the
software development, it must implement the security practices for managing their sensitive
information. In the field of software development, the security assurance maturity model is
necessary for curing the software related risks. The software development is occurred in
various business functions including governance, construction as well as verification and also
deployment (Sjelin and White 2017). The governance is based on such processes which is
based on the activities of managing software development related activities by organizations.
This section is mainly related with the limitation that are required to be maintained by the
organizations in the case of software development. After the first function of governance, the
second step is the construction stage in which the organization outlines its goals and based on
the business objectives, the software development is processed.
