Abstract :
The authors present a theoretical study of a tool used to improve the quality of delivered software. Common approaches to software quality focus on the quantitative aspects of the code and neglect the qualitative sides of the utilization though these last characteristics are far from being worthless for the end-user. Starting from the work of B.W. Boehm et al. (1978) and J.A. McCall et al. (1977) concerning factors, criteria and metrics, the authors have constructed a model which serves to put together the user´s needs and the programmer´s possibilities. The model incorporates a quantitative assessment of both addresses. The algorithms of the tool using this model are also described
