Abstract

The matrix is one of the important tools used for the measurement of software quality. They are an indicator for the organization to obtain information for continuous improvement in its productivity, reduced errors and improve acceptance processes. As the growing importance of measurement, many matrices are proposed in software literature. Some of these matrices are provided overlapping and redundant information. It is very difficult to understand which matrices are more useful in which area. This paper highlights the significance of different matrices in software development phases from requirement engineering till maintenance. The paper studies different measurement attributes in SDLC phases and how the different matrices are used for this measurement. The study also reflects how existing matrices leads towards the continuous process and product quality improvement.
