Learnability Metric in Software Quality Assurance

Abstract

            Software quality can be defined as a measurable attribute of a software system which depends on usability.  Software usability is nothing but the capability to be used by human easily and effectively.  Easiness to a specified  level of subjective assessment.  Effectiveness to a specified level of human performance.  Software life cycle development tries to identify the activities that occur in software development.  The success of many software systems depends on usability primarily.  Many models are available to use software usability as a parameter to improve the quality of software system.  Even some models have ignored software usability in the development process, the main reason for failure of many of the software is poor contribution in software usability.  In this work we have analyzed different methods to improve software quality by means of using various usability metrics.
