Software quality is the attribute to measure the software characteristics. To measure software quality, a no. of software metrics are used. Metric are the quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a given attribute.

The first category of the factors is of those that can be measured directly e.g. testability, usability, flexibility and efficiency.
