Survey on Impact of Software Metrics on Software Quality

Software metrics are valuable entity in the entire software life cycle. They provide measurement for the software development, including software requirement documents, designs, programs and tests. Rapid developments of large scaled software have evolved complexity that makes the quality difficult to control. The successful execution of the control over software quality requires software metrics. The concepts of software metrics are coherent, understandable and well established, and many metrics related to the product quality have been developed and used. It is essential to introduce definition of software metrics. Software metrics provides measurement of the software product and the process of software production. In this paper, the software product should be seen as an abstract object that begins from an initial statement of requirement to a finished software product, including source and object code and the several forms of documentation exhibited during the various stages of its development.
