Abstract


The software engineering is layered technology. The evaluation of software quality significance depends on its layers implementation. This may be a difficult task and the Analytic Hierarchy Process seems to provide an effective approach for properly quantifying the pertinent data. Even though, there are many critical issues that a decision maker needs to be aware off. This paper examines some of the practical and computational issues involved when the AHP method is used in the software engineering applications to find out the significance of McCall’s quality factors

Keywords


Quality focus, process, methods, tools, AHP, Priorities, Alternatives, Pair wise comparisons, Priority Vector, Eigen vector
