ABSTRACT
Software metrics have a direct link with measurement in software engineering. Correct measurement is the
prior condition in any engineering fields, and software engineering is not an exception, as the size and
complexity of software increases, manual inspection of software becomes a harder task. Most Software
Engineers worry about the quality of software, how to measure and enhance its quality. The overall
objective of this study was to asses and analysis’s software metrics used to measure the software product
and process.
In this Study, the researcher used a collection of literatures from various electronic databases, available
since 2008 to understand and know the software metrics. Finally, in this study, the researcher has been
identified software quality is a means of measuring how software is designed and how well the software
conforms to that design. Some of the variables that we are looking for software quality are Correctness,
Product quality, Scalability, Completeness and Absence of bugs, However the quality standard that was
used from one organization is different from others for this reason it is better to apply the software metrics
to measure the quality of software and the current most common software metrics tools to reduce the
subjectivity of faults during the assessment of software quality. The central contribution of this study is an
overview about software metrics that can illustrate us the development in this area, and a critical analysis
about the main metrics founded on the various literatures.
