Dependencies

  • Safeguard 2.1: Establish and Maintain a Software Inventory

Inputs

  1. GV5: Authorized Software Inventory

Operations

  1. Use Input 1 GV5 to identify and enumerate in-house developed software (M1)

  2. Use Input 1 GV5 to identify static analysis tools

  3. For each software identified in Operation 1, determine if it is verified by a static tool identified in Operation 2

    1. Identify and enumerate software verified by a static tool (M2)

    2. Identify and enumerate software not verified by a static tool (M3)

  4. Use Input 1 GV5 to identify dynamic analysis tools

  5. For each software identified in Operation 1, determine if it is verified by a dynaic tool identified in Operation 4

    1. Identify and enumerate software verified by a dynamic tool (M4)

    2. Identify and enumerate software not verified by a dynamic tool (M5)

Measures

  • M1 = Count of in-house developed software

  • M2 = Count of in-house developed software verified by a static analysis tool

  • M3 = Count of in-house developed software not verified by a static analysis tool

  • M4 = Count of in-house developed software verified by a dynamic analysis tool

  • M5 = Count of in-house developed software not verified by a dynamic analysis tool

Metrics

Static Analysis Tool Coverage

Metric
The percentage of in-house developed software verified by a
static analysis tool

Calculation

M2 / M1

Dynamic Analysis Tool Coverage

Metric
The percentage of in-house developed software verified by a
dynamic analysis tool

Calculation

M4 / M1
