Software Quality is one of the illusive targets to achieve in the software development for the successful software projects. Software Quality activities are conducted throughout the project life cycle to provide objective insight into the maturity and quality of the software processes and associated work products. Software Quality activities are performed during each traditional development phase. There are many parameters or attributes which helps to ensure the quality of the software. The paper analyses and a detailed report are presented on each quality attribute parameter

50% of the software cost is spent on maintenance so here Complexity metrics to judge the quality of software is provided. ISO standard 9126 is defined to articulate the quality attributes. Subsequently process and product standards are defined. Quality can be achieved comprehensively provided it is built pervasively into all aspects of SDLC and in O&M phase through a quality management process.

The most important aim of software engineering is to improve software productivity and quality of software product and further reduce the cost of software and time using engineering and management techniques. Broadly speaking, software engineering initiative has been introduced during software crisis period to describe the collection of techniques that apply engineering and management skills to the construction and support of software process and products. There is no universally agreed theory for software measurement. And the software metrics are useful for obtaining the information on evaluation of process and product in software engineering. It helps to plan and carry out improvement in software organizations and to provide objective information about project performance, process capability and product quality. The process capability is extremely important for software industry because the quality of products is largely determined by the quality of the processes. The make use of of existing metrics and development of innovative software metrics will be important factors in future software engineering process and product development. In future, research work will be based on using software metrics in software development for the development of the time schedule, cost estimates and software quality and can be improved through software metrics. The permanent application of measurement based methodologies is used to the software process and its products to provide important and timely management information, together with the use of those techniques to improve that software process and its products. This research paper mainly concentrates on the overview of unique basics of software measurement and exclusive fundamentals of software metrics in software engineering.

This paper presents a framework for the measurement of software quality. It proposes a quality model as a framework which should facilitate the evolution of theoretically based systems of measurement for the processes and products of the software development lifecycle.

— Object-Oriented design is turn out to be more significant in software development environment as stated by the IEEE standard thesaurus of software engineering. It also conclude that software metrics are much more vital in software engineering for det ermining the software quality characteristics. There are many approaches by virtue of which we can measure the software cost estimation plus predicates on numerous types of deliverable items. Metric tools are used to estimate the measures like lines of code object point, function points etc. This paper highlights mostly the classification of software quality metrics like size metrics, complexity metrics etc. and different metrics tools.

This paper describes the major characteristics of software engineering such as Maintainability, Reliability, Complexity, Understandability, Reusability and Testability. These characteristics measure by some software metrics. There are many software metrics maintainability, Reliability, Complexity and Reusability of the software. Such characteristics can be measured with the help of Coupling, Cohesion, Cyclomatic Complexity, Inherita These characteristics are used to improve the quality, reliability and understandability of the software and reduced the complexity and cost of the software. Abstract This paper describes the major characteristics of software engineering such as Maintainability, Reliability, Complexity, Understandability, Reusability and Testability. These characteristics measure by some software metrics. There are many software metrics but in this paper our emphasis on those software metrics, which effects the maintainability, Reliability, Complexity and Reusability of the software. Such characteristics can be measured with the help of Coupling, Cohesion, Cyclomatic Complexity, Inheritance, and Comment Percentage and size metrics. These characteristics are used to improve the quality, reliability and understandability of the software and reduced the complexity and cost of the software.

Software quality is a key for the success in the business of information and technology. Hence, before be marketed, it needs the software quality measurement to fulfill the user requirements. Some methods of the software quality analysis have been tested in a different perspective, and we have presented the software method in the point of view of users and experts. This study aims to map the method of software quality measurement in any models of quality. Using the method of Systematic Mapping Study, we did a searching and filtering of papers using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 42 relevant papers have been obtained then. The result of the mapping showed that though the model of ISO SQuaRE has been widely used since the last five years and experienced the dynamics, the researchers in Indonesia still used ISO9126 until the end of 2016.The most commonly used method of the software quality measurement Method is the empirical method, and some researchers have done an AHP and Fuzzy approach in measuring the software quality. 1. INTRODUCTION Software product quality is a critical factor in business [1]. It is determined by to what extent the product could meet the user needs, and do its performance, and how many defects in that software [2]. Hence, it needs to do the quality checking before the software products is sent to the market as the reparation after delivery is viewed very costly and can affect the company credibility [3]. Some researchers have studied the software product quality in a different perspective such as Boehm model [4], Dromey model [5], McCall model [6], ISO/IEC 9126 [7] and ISO/IEC SQuaRE [8]. Based on the model defined, the quality of the software product is measured regarding its ability to fulfill the aim of the developers and the needs of the users [9]. For this, human as the user becomes the factor that needs to be involved in the method of the software quality measurement. Adopting the term of Usability Evaluation Method, then the analysis of the software is divided into two: analytical method (measurement by the experts) and empirical method (measurement by users) [10-12]. The experts include the academicians and practitioners in software engineering, content expert, and technical expert. Meanwhile, the users here include end user, including the manager, employees, lecturers, students or customers using the software. This research aims to see the trend of the model and the method of the measurement of the software in the last 10-year period. The pattern of the model and the method are used as the references in the subsequent researchers. This research used the method of Systematic Mapping Study based upon the research questions. This approach could provide a description of the research area, identify the number of research, type of the research and the results available

The use of metrics is important in software development activities as they make it possible to check quality, identify failures and other benefits. The objective of this paper is to propose a new software metric based on a bibliometric study and a literature review on software metrics. The bibliometric research was carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify the distribution of articles by year of publication, the main authors, affiliation, country, the most common languages, the types of documents, journals with more publications, areas of knowledge, and the keyword clusters. Twenty-three articles were subsequently selected for reading to compose the literature review. The results of the bibliometric research show that (i) there is no defined core of research; (ii) the...
