Assessment of Software Quality: Choquet Integral Approach

Software measurement is a software engineering discipline which deals in quantifying the characteristics of a software product or software process. The measurement of the characteristics of software refers to the comparative study of the same and hence the quality of the software comes into picture. There are software quality models made for quantifying various quality parameters such as Boehm's Model, McCall's Model, and ISO/IEC 9126 Model etc but none of these give quantification of quality parameters. Hence this paper proposes a methodology for comparing different software solutions based on the SRS to a common problem. Software quality is highly unpredictable, it is the existence of desirable characteristics in a solution, while the desired attributes differ with different view point and are highly interdependent. Therefore Choquet Integral is used to efficiently compare the set of solutions to be implemented for software.
