Performance analysis of software: CDOT case study

Software quality assurance involves checking and assuring if aspects such as the design, coding, testing and performance of the software are as per the specifications. There have been many attempts to quantify the quality of the software and many quality metrics have evolved. Quality attributes are measured in various ways. Two of the ways in which performance can be gauged are (i) by measuring the time required for execution of the functions and (ii) by the number of problems found during testing. These two aspects are discussed taking the Centre for Development of Telematics (CDOT) as an example
