A method and system for assessing a software generation environment (SGE). The SGE has a plurality of SGE characteristics. At least one query is generated for each SGE characteristic. Each query has a plurality of response choices and each response choice has a numerical score. A selected response choice is received for each query. A SGE score is computed and displayed for each SGE characteristic. The SGE score for each SGE characteristic is equal to a summation of the numerical scores associated with the selected response choices for the SGE characteristic. A total score is computed and displayed, wherein the total score is equal to a summation of the SGE scores.
