Ranking Based Software Quality Assessment Using Experts Opinion

This paper provides a platform to the software industry to dynamically select the software engineering measures which are most valuable in the means of software reliability. In this paper we focus on 35 measures identified by IEEE for producing reliable software for which 7 ranking criteria considered. The rate of each measure for each ranking criteria collected from 10 experts from industry and the academic field by our online survey portal & then aggregated in to a single rate using the additive aggregation theory. We have ranked the measures and identified top three measures of each software development phases. These measures can be more reliable for software quality prediction.
